Now with new turbo and manifold I personally would keep the X for longer - otherwise the new owner will just use for nothing what you have paid and spent time on. 3.0d is great for Europe.

Why don't you look for a used turbo or a complete engine - used turbo would cost you couple of hundreds euro/pounds and the complete good M57 engine form a car with service book costs like 1000 Euro....

As far as I know all the M62 parts are interchangeable, the only thing you have to look for is obviously that you need a TU version of M62 in your X5 to run on stock ECU.

Yes, I also wanted to say -obviously it's better to get a complete diff, rather than just the gears. 3.64 is the most common one and therefore the cheapest. You'll get a much better milage for sure!
