Congrats on your X

Normally the 3.0d has 235 pk and mine has 211... The reason for this is that in Belgium we have to pay takses to put a car on the road (new cars and second hand cars) which is dependant on the amount of power. The switch from 2500 eur takses to 5000 eur takses is on 211 pk. Thus for mine I paid 2500 instead of 5000 eur and only get 24 pk less with the same amount of torque...

The 3.0sd in Belgium has 286 pk.
