You cannot compare at 30d, 35d or the 40d to a M50d, basically with a M50d your getting the X5M but with a triple turbo diesel engine with 750nm+ torque instead but with double the fuel economy and half the service costs and half the insurance premium.

The M50d goes straight to 260kmh and pulls like freight train, comparing the 50i V8 to the 35d is not a comparison and the 50i will always feel the better engine.

I would rather sit the traffic in my M50d than the X5M any day and is those circumstance a 35d would probably be even better?
sadly the best we can do is chip the 35d which brings the performance up to 40d level. How I wish we had the 50d here in the USA
