The tank(s) holds close to 5 gallons of Urea.
I needed to add some, because 900 miles later, the truck wouldn't have started.
Cost me 28$ for 2.5 Gallons, and the BMW tech did put it in no charge.
Didn't filled it up, since I was close to have the oil changed, and they refill it at that point for free.

Thanks.

Walmart has 2.5 galons for 13.99.

Thanks.

I pulled the trigger on an 09 35d over the weekend. I have been wanting to try out a diesel for years and I am glad we finally have the opportunity. So far I am loving it. We took an hour long trip, mostly highway and averaged 26+ mpg per the computer. That was with my wife driving and not using cruise control. The torque is nice, but somehow doesn't feel like 425 lb.ft. to me. I keep comparing it to my 02 4.4i and I really can't tell which one "feels" faster by the seat of my pants. I think they feel about the same actually. As much as I liked my old e53, I have to say that the ride and interior of the e70 are huge upgrades. Maybe the fact that my e53 was a sport and my e70 is a non-sport with 18 inch wheels has a lot to do with the increased comfort. However, the multi-contour seats in the e70 have a lot to do with that as well. They feel like butter compared to my old e53 sport package seats. When I drove my e53, I found myself mashing the gas to hear the V8 sound, but so far in the diesel I have been much more interested in keeping the MPG's high. I actually feel driving the diesel will help me relax more behind the wheel.

Also, the diesel noise is slightly louder than a traditional BMW, but I sort of like the clatter on an SUV. To me, it is really only noticeable inside the cabin on startup and under acceleration.

Seth, Congrats on your new diesel!

The diesel has more power at the bottom of the rev range and the gas engine more towards the top. I drove the 35d and a Q7 tdi back to back this weekend. e70 is so much more of a driver's car. The Q7 felt a lot like a GL I drove a while back. The tdi is much quieter but I feel that the amount of rubber needed to achieve that also makes the whole experience a bit soft.

Congrats on the new car Seth!

I found a nice 35d for sale but it is 200 miles away and I can't get away from the offcice this week.....hope it is still there on Friday night.

Thanks guys! When I have a moment, I will start a new thread with some pics and a better review.

As a late participant in the diesel world myself, welcome to the wonderful world of broken dishes !
I really don't mind the little sound I hear when accelerating, it gives presence to the SAV.

Tells to the world: "You may have more high-end acceleration, but hooked hitch to hitch, I'd drag yours anytime" :D
