Thinking of going from my e90 to X5 35d
Anyone made this jump? Any general thoughts on the 35d? I like the torque on the d. I will miss the manual transmission on my e90, but I am looking for a change.
Thanks in Advance. |

Did it, and those 2 aren't comparable.
I do miss the 335i stance and acceleration, driving comportment. But the 35d's more practical, much more low torque, economy.

I did it.
I traded in my E92 M3 for a X5 D. Call me crazy, but I love it. I look back, but it was worth it.

I regret every second trading my 335i N54 when driving my D. Should have gotten E90 M3 instead, same money around here. Can't even imagine how some traded the M for that clancker.

I needed one, thus the trade. Did a mistake with an X1, and corrected since. Next year, I plan on purchasing an E82 135i or 1M (IF i can find one), for ... my wife.

Bizarre, it's the point that made me buy this one instead of a 2012 X3 35i.
Like I said, I needed the extra pushing power of a diesel. For built quality, can't really argue, they do cut corners, and also put accessories as optional, where the vast majority of other car manufacturers put as standard on a vehicule of that price. Not yet bored to the point of purchasing from other manufacturers, though.

E91 to X535D
I did that jump into my X5 from my 2010 E91.
I have no regrets what so ever NONE. I would do the same thing again. Must say that I have had a ton of warranty work done to it, and now I have check engine light again, ( checked it myself with a code reader and my TB even though it was replaced about 2 months ago... well went for crap. It was replaced with some kind of a recall, never had problem with it before, and now the new one, did not last me 2 months .... go figure ) so I'm going to see my local BMW dealer again, but anyway. I love my X5 for my personal space ( I'm a bit tall ), fuel economy, power to pull, really nice transmission ( much smoother than my pre E91 GL320 CDI, that was a piece of work that truck ). Honestly e9X in comparison to E7X I don't think it is doable.... You have to weigh YOUR pros and cons For me it was worth it, will it be for YOU ???? |

You'll have to change your log in name !
Just like I did (and I haven't changed it while I had my X1).
