If they do it, I suspect they will do it by putting the twin-turbo gasoline six into the X5 as the US base model, raise the X5 base price using the TT HP increase as justification, and leaving the Diesel price the same.
They won't want to make the reduction too obvious, as moves like that tend to irritate your prior customers that bought it at the higher price.
I assume BMW NA could justify lowering the diesel premium by showing Germany how it would assist in meeting CAFE requirements in the future.
