True consumption 50d 40d

Hi,

I'm looking at an X5 or X6 and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on true economy difference. I really want the M50d but worried about economy killing the experience.

Current car is an E60 530d

12 Months of 4.0d X5 ownership, average MPG 31.

I travel 250 motorway miles a week at a good pace but mostly using cruise control; another 30 miles a week stop start, short runs through city traffic.

At a steady 70 on a 100+ mile run i have seen nearly 40mpg.

I own a M50d and I have an average of 13.3l/100km. Outside the city is 9-10l/100km, while in the city is around 17l/100km.

Previously I owned an E70 40d and the consumption was with about 2-3l/100km lower, but in my opinion the M50d is a different car and it worth every penny you pay on gas.

I have to mention that I have a heavy foot!

Thanks guys really appreciate it. Yeah I am thinking of the M50d. Guessing it's still better economy than a standard petrol.
