Get the N55, turbo-6.
OP is from Britain. They like their diesels. And I believe it's a bit cheaper than gasoline (diesel price). Also the diesel engine sips fuel compared to the N55. Not having Autobahn, makes the N55 redundant. Not that it's not a great vehicle, it's market related "best" vehicle.
If there were no speed limits, or if you would travel consistently over 75-80 mph for long periods of time on said autobahn, or on N American Highways, then N55 hands down.
