Looking to trade in my wife's Land Rover Discovery and thought with all the great reviews of the new twin-turbo 3.5 engine that it might be worth holding out for this in an X5. I believe it's slated for 2008, but would be interested in any specific info anyone might have.

My Ride: 535d Auto M Sport delivered 04/10/05, Carbon Black, Beige Ventilated Nasca Leather, Dark Poplar Wood, Media Pack - Sat Nav Pro, Bmw Assist, Bluetooth phone prep + telematics + snap in adapter for Nokia 6230i & 6 CD, Visibility Pack - bi-xenons, adaptive headlights and Headlight Wash, HUD, High Gloss Shadow Line, Extended Lights, HiFi System, Extended Voice, M Spoiler and Heated/ventilated f/seats. Chrome Grills. M Double Spoke 19" Mixed Wheels 172 with 245/35 front and 275/30 rear (Non-runflat continentals) Spare wheel and jack. Supaglass.
I think the M Sport is launched in June for delivery July/August and then the 3.0sd is announced around November for launch from March 2008 production. The cost for the 3.0sd M Sport should be about ?5,500 (in the UK) more than the 3.0d SE (using the X3 pricing as a guide)

Yeah - you're right as the X3 3.0d doesn't have an auto tranny. The X5 does, so I guess about ?4,500 additional. M Sport pack over SE trim costs about ?2k, extra turbo and spec enhancements account for the additional ?2,500. SHould be 0-60 in about 6.6 secs (0-62 7.2 secs) and 30 mpg.
Now, do I order one of those or a TDV8 Range Rover with a bit of DMS on it ?
