X5 35i (gas) When?

[JGQ]

I am dieing to know IF and When BMW is going to release the X5 with this engine????

I've been searching multiple BMW forums and actually SENT BMWNA and email inquiring about this topic. They did not respond to my inquiry... Thanks a lot BMW... But I still love your cars.... It's starting to feel like an abusive relationship!!

The 4.8 has bad MPG's... bad driving range (I could live with it if it had a bigger tank)
The 3.0 is somewhat underpowered
The 3.0 sd ... well it sounds good, but I never drove diesel, and I'm not sure the availability of diesel stations? And it is coming this fall.... when exactly? I don't know!

On the other hand, the X6 35i looks very appealing, with the right engine, but I am hesitant about the 4 passenger thing. Why didn't they make it a regular 5???

I want an X5 35i... BMWNA are you listening???
