I have been wondering about the marketing strategy for a diesel version M X5/6 vehicle.
What is the reason and who is the likely buyer? If you want power the X5/6M is the answer. If you want some efficiency then the 35i is probably it. In between the 50i is it. |

It will be cheaper than X5M and 0-60 close to X5M. And will have the handling and driving dynamics of a ///M car. X5 50i will not match the handling. M-division did not bless it and not involved in design.

Well, it's definately not swaying me into even considering it as an alternative to an X5M.

I tow over some of the toughest passes (e.g., Vail Pass, topping out over 10,600 ft elev. and extended grades over 8%). Looking to upgrade to a 30' trailer, so this diesel would be ideal!

If I had a budget approaching a $100Gs for a car, and was replacing our ol'X, I would look very hard at that diesel car. Alas, that ain't in my RetiredBum budget; certainly have the dough, but won't spend that kind of money on a 'car'. But, cool idea, imo.

Because I see no benefit of this car over the X5M, except, mileage, and, perhaps, cheaper price. |

I could understand if you happened to prefer the performance characteristics of a gas powered engine over a diesel. Otherwise, there isn't much difference. The diesel would be a very appealing choice to me personally. Those are amazing performance figures for an oil burner.
