Looks like I will have to sell a kidney and order the 4.8 instead. I was going to order a 540i in Mar., after the facelift, but with two boys on the way, the E70 seems like the better choice.
A little off topic here... but which country has the highest taxes on cars? Where I amin the world the X5 4.8 is projected to cost around USD$160k! I miss living in the USA and Canada.

I'm suprised the 286bhp (twin-turbo) version isn't available at launch - especially as they've put it in the X3...?
) is that the 286bhp part is not enough for a top of the range diesel x5... expect a revised 4.4litre v8 (from 745d)...

4.4 V8 diesel would be nice though, but the UK would probably not get it anyway.

I reckon that a 4litre-ish diesel version will turn up but will be stupidly expensive... The 3.0sd is definitely the way to go!

Indeed a new V8 diesel would be nice.
