Well to begin to collect data from our diesel X5 what do you think of :
- fuel consumption statistics - average maintenance interval (personal record : 38 000 km between maintenance) - tips for more performances : chips, reprogrammed injection system...and many thing else what do you think of it ? which matter is the most interesting to begin ?

Got an '06 3.0d myself with mannual tranny and a li'l "Tunit" box; the huge daily torque overdose I get whenever I'm driving it makes me really wonder why gasoline V8's are still around. Must be the oil companies cartels dishing money out to car manufacturers to keep the 'ol gas-guzzling V8's alive....
Long Live the Diesel ! Can't wait to try the new-gen X5 when it comes out with the twin-turbo oil-burner

i reallllllllly can't wait until california starts allowing diesel cars back, esp now that BlueTec is available thanks to Mercedes. A diesel X5 would be awesome.

My 184 hp 2003 X5 Diesel with automatic gearbox needs between 9,5 to 10,5 l / 100 km. And i drive not particularly slow down...
A man called Fochesato, who was working for Ferrari, is selling a reprogramming ship service that put your diesel engine up to 50 hp more and 12 nm of torque more !! and what ever is your engine (184 or 218...) Reprogrammed ship is not detectable by BMW maintenance service.... Some french magazine have test it and apparently that is working fine and fuel consumption is lowered from 0,5 to 1 l / 100 km. Drawbacks : cost... Around 1500 €... Does anyone has try a ship or something to boost his diesel X5 ?
