I know you said you didn't want the diesel, but we just got the 09 X5 35d diesel and the drive train is amazing! Quiet, just a light purr, and silly fast with those sequentially spooling turbos. A very peaceful ride - trust me, my wife picked the diesel and she is picky. She drove all three engines and it was a no brainer for her. Instant love.

BTW- we are getting 29 highway, 24 city. And I filled up for $1.99 the other day in Colorado.

No smell, no black. As fast as my m3 stoplight to stoplight. Diesel technology isn't the diesel of old days. Remember, the fastest Audi R8 made is that new diesel model they are racing on the circuit.

(is the diesel sold in the Netherlands?)
