I have order a 35d X5 M-Sport fully loaded, not really inerested in a 550hp suv when I have a new M3 and a AMG Merc. I have been informed by my dealer that Australia will get by the end of the year the Hybrid X5, supposed to be a twin turbo 4cyl Diesel with a electric motor in the transmission, developing around 530nm, that's more than the oridginal 3.0d in the E53. Also supposed to have solar panels built into the roof developing 1 kilowat of power?
If that's the case then that is my next X5, I do 600klm a week so I change over X5's about every 18 months. A 550hp X5 as a DD is probably not the smartest move in my case and yes I would wait 12 month before I bought one anyway just so they get it sorted and the price stablises.
