I drive around 20k km per year, the consumtion of the 50d is 2-3 liters /100km higher than the 4.0d meaning around 500 eur per year...negligible if you can aford to pay 70-80k for a bmw...

The F15 4.0D is 0-60 in 5.9 compared to 6.6 for the old E70 version. The F15 M50D is 5.3 secs, so yes its a big jump between the 4.0D E70 and the F15 M50D but only 0.5 secs between the F15 versions.
If money was no issue then Yes, I would jump for the 50D, but if money was no option it would be the pure X5M.
Personally I think the F15 4.0D is a good compromise between speed and economy. I chose the 4.0D and added £8k's worth of extra's as opposed to the extra 0.5secs to 60. But to each their own, the 50D is certainly a great car
