Wonder if they'll allow options like the 20" Y spokes and the flares (same as the 3.0sd). Typically they use the best pics for promos - they should do better than this. At least it comes with titanium grill right?

I've heard no 20" wheels on the diesel. I know, it sucks!
I'm still waiting on pricing. Also, no new I drive on the first 09's
Does anyone know when the new I drive will be on the X5?

Finally some information!!

Dealers are taking orders, but don't have pricing...

Craig

They're actually going to have the pipes facing out? Don't think I've ever seen a diesel without them facing down, or hidden by some sort of vanity cover...

Same time BMW will announce pricing on the diesel is what the dealer told me today. He said, in the next 10-12 days, so my guess would be the same time..

Craig

No optional 20 inch wheels on the diesel? You've got to be kidding.

No, they aren't in the order guide from what the dealer showed me. I've had two dealers show me they aren't on their guide. I hope this changes when they come out with pricing. I wonder if they can be special ordered from the factory? I don't want to pay for two sets of wheels and tires... They showed 20" wheels on the diesel last year at the North American Auto Show in Detroit.
