turbolite :
I have two brochure of the new X5 . In the first one they explain all the models .
The M is the M50d : HP 381, Nm 740
The 40d : HP 313 , Nm 630
So, there is quite a difference, no ? where those the specs of the one you tried ? I would be very happy not to ' have to go ' with the M50d , but I will also need an engine that is pleasurable to drive .
The lack of revving is what worries me . When I tried last months the RRS diesel, I was very disappointed as it was so boring with that diesel engine . I get frustrated when I can't go into higher revs . But I hope that with a good transmission this will not be the case and that I will be able to have enough fun driving on the torque .
The other brochure I have is the one with the specs and the price ( just got it saturday ) . The X40d is not on the list And also my dealer was supposed to get the 40d for test driving and instead he got the M50d . So, I don't know if that one have been postponed ???
Looking at this brochure it seems you can have the 3rd town on the M50d . So, I will see .
I am also heading to the Engadine this winter … but it will not be with the new car unfortunately …
I am not sure I want to put up with the 16 - 20 litre ( real life ) consumption of the 50i even if I know this would be my favorite engine ….. I have to really think about it .
Your feed back is very appreciated. Thanks
