I love my new X5

We got the diesel with all the trimmings- 73K car for 60 with discounts. I thought it might not be powerful enough (we also have a V8). I was wrong. The torque more than makes up for the lack of horsepower. And the car can cruise at 80 and return 27mpg.

We looked at the Porsche (sky high price stripped/even reasonable options take it to stratosphere and it was unavailable*) Audi (it was a schoolbus) and Mercedes (numb steering, none of the options we wanted were available*) but settled on the BMW again. Couldn't be happier. If you're thinking about getting a diesel don't hesitate.



*meaning "I can possibly get it for you but you're not going to see much of a discount"
