I don't even remember what photos you are talking about. I cannot be first with everything and you are not the only one who has posted first pics other than me.

Reading the article I take it as saying that the TT diesel is labelled as the X drive 3.5d in the US?. If this is true then I wonder why because in Europe and Aus its labelled as the 3.0SD

The new nomenclature is used for the X6, and the new cleaner 3.0 twin turbo diesel with Bluetec for the US market. I think you can expect to see it worldwide as the models change up.

When the diesel X5 hits the market in US other X5 are supposed to get the xDrive logo at the same time.

When that happens, are all BMW diesels moving to the same emissions technology (whether BMW calls it Bluetec, AdBlue, or something else), or is that eventual change not connected to the logo change?
