Excellent - thanks for the info.
I'm new to this forum - I've been hanging out on Bimmerfest since '04 in the E46 forum. I'm taking the plunge and trading in my 330ZHP for a new X5d - 2 kids and a boat, etc, etc. I liked my X5d test drive but know very little about diesel and am a bit unnerved by threads on poor starting, "runaway," poor fuel quality, etc.
I've been reading threads here on PCD and will be picking up my own new baby in Spartanburg next month. It's only a matter of time before I start posting gushing threads in anticipation - maybe this weekend...
Thanks again-
