X5 diesel on USA Configurator.

Neat thing: One can order Aluminium trim only on the 3.0sd model. Neat way to keep it exclusive from the other petrol 3.0si and 4.8i models.

I have aluminum trim in my 2008 3.0 X5. It is a priority 1 option.

I think graphite was an option in the US... aluminum was canada and overseas no?

with the same options:

3.0si: $59620
3.0d: $63720
4.8i: $67320

~$4k difference evenly spread out... way to go BMW.

I built my 3.0sd:

Titanium Silver/Gray Nevada Leather/Aluminium trim
Sport package
PDC

Total: $57.875.

If I wanted a 4.8i to my preferences, it would be $64.625 because I'd add Nappa Leather which requires the Comfortsitze.

Then again, I'd never buy an X5, so

Nice torque number

Max. torque lb-ft/rpm 425/1750-2250

Finally a BMW with 4wd and a REAL torque number.

Nice peak torque, 580 nm, but it is only available from 1750 to 2250 rpm, a very narrow band.

The 35i has 400 nm torque, but it is available from 1300 to 5000 rpm.

The 50i has 600 nm torque, available from 1800 to 4500.

Now that is nice torque.

Diesels are fine, but still a compromise.

Until you see a dyno plot you can't compare the 35i to the diesel.

Since you don't know the fall off numbers.

I am extremely happy to observe that those two petrol engines definitely have exceptional torque - but saying 'only available between 1750 and 2250' in the context of the deisel is sort of weird given that at 1350rpm it's torque is about the same as the petrol's peak and even at 4500 rpm the torque has only dropped off to ~450nm. In the X6 for example, the 0-100kph times are only .2 of a second different between the 3.0 petrol and diesel.

petrols are a compromise too - generally speaking you get zippier performance but at the cost of guzzling substantially more fuel and emitting a lot more carbon dioxide

don't let your dislike of diesel-hype jade you into doing the exact same thing with anti-diesel-hype

like me, most of the people getting enthused about these latest diesels are simply getting enthused about these latest diesels - as opposed to hatching some plot to abolish petrol engines. this is because they are far closer to the driving performance of petrol engines than past diesels ever have been. and personally I'm equally as enthused about these latest twin turbo petrols as well.
