Unless any of you are engineer's that work in the field of internal combustion engines everything you say is based on your best guess and has no basis in the real world.
As I am NOT an engineer I am not going to opine on cylinder pressures, engine speed, or any of the other factors that impact the longevity of an internal combustion engine. All I will say is this, I had the 4.4i V8 X5 before I have the diesel now and I much prefer the diesel for day to day driving. The torque arrives sooner, the power is more than enough and the fuel mileage is heads and tails better. BMW has been building diesel engines for almost thirty years...and have been using turbocharging since the beginning. It is a tried and tested technology and overall diesel engines have been shown to last longer than equivalent gas engines.
