Very good write up and certainly will take on some of your advice.

9 out of 10 X5's sold in Australia are diesels We have both the 4 and 6 cylinder models available for the current G series Initially we had the M50d with 4 turbos, but was withdrawn in 2019 due to poor fuel quality and I suspect climatic conditions being too hot for the engine to perform as expected

Local emission regulations still allow diesel cars to be sold without the AdBlue component to reduce the NOX emissions so our economy is still pretty good with my F15 2.5d sDrive using around 6.5l per 100km on the open road The wife's G05 2.5d uses a bit more 7.2l per 100km as it is an xDrive model with the Motorsport option ie 20 inch offset rims that give great handling but poor fuel economy
