If you consider stump pulling torque and really good gas mileage problems, then yes - the X5d has a few.

Thanks for the post, Funf. That could certainly be it, though I haven't noticed any smoke - just the smell. I'm relieved that it isn't just mine; sounds like this occasional occurrence is normal...

It's kind of a sweet, heavy, burnt smell. Doesn't smell like the diesel that's straight out of the pump.

Stinky

I've got about 850 miles on my new X5d. Each time that I fueled it up, I brought it home, stuck it in the garage, and noticed a stink coming from my auto. Maybe burnt diesel, possibly new engine...

I think the current twin turbo diesel US offering is an ideal compromise between performance and efficiency. I like my X5d so much that I intend to buy the wife a 335d next year. Now that the...

I bought a set of OEM 18"s for my winter studs from a fellow forum member. Keep your eyes peeled. Don't buy 19"s though if you want studs; no one makes studdable 19"s!

Pics tomorrow. I promise. My clients won't stop buying/selling houses! Nice to be able to pay for the new SAV but it doesn't give me much spare time to photograph it.

It drives the exact opposite from how you might assume a diesel to drive. No smell, very little clatter, and a rocket ship off the line (thanks to the twin turbos). There is no downside or...
