The End of an Era? The BMW X5 xDrive35d

2017 X5 diesels still can't be "built" on BMW USA's web site. Good piece today by Kanon Cozad on the F15 diesel:

VW be damned. Those SOBs killed a great technology by cheating. I won't buy a product from them - or Audi or Porsche. I hope they sell off Porsche so I can buy one someday. I hope the penalties are so high they have to!

I read this blog post last night. Great read and a great account of the best aspects of owning a diesel truck.

Needless to say, BMWBlog also slurps the brand way to much. The writer obviously owned a E70 X5d, and I was waiting on a quick comparo on what he liked and disliked going from last gen to this gen.
