How sad. I waited until the price went from $419.99 to $589.99, and I just checked the website a few days ago.

Alas, I missed the sale, so I'll keep my originals (or give Crutchfield a call).

While the 50i (2011) has some serious appeal (as does the X5M), I cannot find enough positive adjectives to describe my experience and satisfaction with the '09 35d.

I would drive the 35d for the...

Nothing quantitative to offer; only opinions here.

The power curve on the diesel is perfect for the X5. Of course, I haven't driven the new TT petrols and with the 35d, I don't want for...

My lag is almost unnoticeable. I did test drive a different 35d that seemed to be more 'peppy' - I can live with slightly more lag if it means I get a little better MPG.

So, I thought about...

I don't know what it is - we bought our '09 35d new six months ago from a very large BMW dealership in the D.C. suburbs. It was nearly loaded (we're extremely happy with what's in this 35d), and, of...

That makes sense...my daily driver gets 35k/yr, but it's a VW, not a BMW.

So maybe my 100k request is ambitious and should be regarded as a flexible number!

Chime in here if no mechanical issues @ or > 60k miles w/E70

I have an '09 35d @ 2k miles and can't find anything I don't like about it - I garage it and clean it more than I clean my own bottom, so it seems.

In the spirit of, "Folks with no issues don't...

You may be wise to hold out for a better deal, I would and did. My 09 35d was delivered new in May and I'd say it's everything I wanted and then a bunch more; it's FANTASTIC.

I have an '09 35d Sapphire Black with Saddle Brown interior and we (and everyone else) love it!!

I spend some time spritzing the exterior for fingerprints, but the combo is the best, imho.

On my VW diesels, I use a Pella extractor and it works perfectly. Pulls every last drop out (I hope) and makes the filter change pretty simple too.

I agree, you should change the filter each time...

If purchased in 2009 calendar year, the feds give $1,800 tax credit for the X5 35d. I double-checked with the IRS and they confirmed it (it's in the bowels of their website).

What are the details regarding the BMW CCA rebate of $1000?

I bought my X5 35d new (4 miles!) from my dealer on May 21st. Would this count?
