They're missing the boat not providing an X3d...I may end up looking at a GLK or Q5 for a mid-size SUV. BMW is missing the boat on the smaller SUV front.

Canada has always had a notably higher take-rate for diesels than America. I am trying to find the reference, but I recall it was 50-60% higher than in the U.S.

I run 36/42, which is the door plate pressures for 100mph+, less 2 lbs front, 3 lbs rear. It seems to be the best balance for suspension tuning for the different un-sprung weights of a non-RFT vs...

I have 2 years and about 28K mi on a set of PSS that still have plenty or tread left. The PSS is a great tire and with the real-life wear, is actually very good bang for your buck.

Agree. Even the N57D20S (the M550x/X5Md/X6Md power plant) only hits 5400.

As well, 240hp versus the non-SCR equipped 218hp peak of the current highest power N47-variant seems questionable with...

Technically, the failsafe would be the oil pressure warning light, but that would take an immediate decision and reaction to turn the engine off as soon as it illuminated.

At the very least, Canadian diesel has a higher lubricity specification than US diesel -- approximately 13% better lubricity (100% x (520µm[US]-460µm[CAN])/460µm[CAN]).
