Your salesman is right about the advice. The other exciting thing about the 5-Series is the upcoming xi versions. BMW has already confirmed this and made a press release statement. I wonder though, will they be using the new xDrive, or the older AWD system like in my X5?
I don't see why they don't offer the new engines in the X3 - it's got half a decade to live. As for the X5, they are gonna be replacing it soon, so obviously new engines won't be offered. |
