It is a question of personal preference and the way the X5 is used.Diesel definitely has more room for tune/improvement.
Especially with a new tune for the X5D/335D coming from Europe in the following months-stage1-320hp/500+tq and still the same great fuel economy.The premium gas now being 30 cents per gallon more expensive than the diesel here doesnt hurt either.
For Audi/VW I may consider them once they start making diesels with aluminum block,i.e. when they finally enter the 21st century.
