Having had a V8 and now a diesel X5 the only disadvantage I have seen is the 5000 RPM red line on the tach. The numbers are bigger and more spread out though. It goes up hill better than the V8 did...

It must be a production change as my 2010 D I got in April works perfect. If fact zero problems. Back in 07 when I got the 4.8 the auto opening hatch was not even available due to long delays. They...

07 4.8 vs 10 35D

I have a V8 and not a six but at idle there is a bit more noise which I like but my wife noticed. The 35D gets up hill better than the V8 did as it alsways searched to a lot more rpm. This one just...

You need to talk to BMW NA and push this issue. I had a 07 4.8 that was terrible. I ended up with a trade asist to a 10 35D. The SUV ended up being no cost to me. It is also perfect with zero flaws....

Here in the NW it seems to be a bit more than Premium. However the MPG between my 35D and 4.8 is very noticable and the power drop off minor thanks to the increased torque. Also the tank size means I...

Both my X5 have had it. I prefer the hood, front bumper, front of side mirrors and this time inside of door handles. Keeps marking from fingernails down. I would never get a new car without it now.

0 to 60

Not sure about the 5.0 but my 4.8 had a listed 0-60 time of 6.4 and the 35 D is listed at 6.9 seconds. On the other hand my overall MPG was 13 with a lot of stop and go. I traded over for that...

I just got a trade assist for my 4.8 and went with a X5 35D. I know my wife’s thoughts. Noisy, dirty and smelly. Having seen the R8 Audis race I really had to reassure her.

Loaner

So one could never move and get a loaner then? I bought mine in a city 30 miles away to get a better deal but never had an issue with a loaner. It has never been the same model but BMW.
