hmm I haven't come across that yet

can't see any conflict with them in the options brochure notes or the online configurator either, so hopefully it's ok!

I see in the updated options brochure it has a note (4) against headup, but it says not available with 'green band' windscreen - maybe that's not the same as climate comfort

Not a yank, but a Canadian Hey! and yes we are peeved about the diesel not being here sooner than you guys across the globe. More strictness on emissions out here i guess.

Yeah, I'm more than peeved! At least we will get the twin turbo diesel. I would really be peeved if I purchased the single turbo diesel. Let us know what you think when it arrives. Who knows when I will get my hands on one...

the strange thing is i asked the dealer ,late last year about the twin turbo coming to australia and they said no it wont be...now here it is.

I recently asked them about night vision in the X5 and they said no it won't be available, but i wont be surprised if it comes soon.

i did consider the single turbo but i wouldnt kicked myself later...thats what my friend who works at the dealer and the sales manager said. They feel the twin turbo will be talked about for sometime especially when the demo arrives.

Congrats. 3.0sd would be perfect. 4.8 eats too much gas, and 3.70$ a gallon here in Northern California doesnt help much.
