Came across this x35d with 224,000 miles on Autotrader

I like to hear this too. I have 3 X5d's and all have over 100k and no issues. I'd love to know this owners experience with this type of mileage..
Interesting how I read about X5d owners here talking about having a deep wallet or good warranty on our cars when they get over 80k. I have a Ford 7.3 and a Dodge Cummins and owners aren't afraid of 200k on the motors.
What makes our diesel engines unworthy of 300-400k on them?

(1) diesel pickup truck owners had lots of problems when the domestics introduced SCR/DPF etc.

(2) it's not the engines that cause reliability issues, it's all the ancillaries. The diesel may have a stronger block/crank/rods/pistons, but all the other stuff stuck onto the motor is not necessarily more HD (its mostly electronics).
