BMW X5 Diesel xDrive35d Reviewed in the USA - Coming Soon

Our BMW fiend friends over at BMW Blog just get their hands on the new diesel X5 (or xdrive35d as its called) that goes for sale here in the U.S. very soon, and a full review is in short order. They haven't yet driven it much, but early reviews (by them and everyone else) are nothing but positive.

Some of what they're saying about it:

"The exterior design has always been one of our favorites among other BMWs, including the older style X5 which fit perfectly in the line-up when it first launched. The white painted xDrive35d sports that aggressive look that makes you fall in love with BMW’s first Sports Activity Vehicle and as crazy as it might sound, it looks quite interesting with the flashy EfficientDynamics marketing painted on the car.

I know in the past many of you had your objections against the BMW diesel engines, especially those of you that live in Europe and are used to seeing them all the time, but for us, the non-diesel trained Americans, those engines are something special. And this twin-turbo 3.0-liter diesel engine with 265 horsepower and a stunning 425 lb-ft of torque at just 1750 rpm, doesn’t disappoint at all." Continued
