We don't really have petrol options for the X5 in the UK, but considering the performance and economy from a diesel, I wouldn't choose a petrol engine. I have a 30D and it accelerates from 0-60MPH in 6.7 seconds and returns 32 UK MPG around town. I am even considering an upgrade to a 40D as the 0-60 comes down to 5.9 seconds with very little economy loss. The downside is the fact that the 'green' lobby are anti diesel as they don't understand that there are clean diesels such as those produced by BMW - particularly those that have the Adblue system.
