Its great in comfort on our poor roads and handles brilliantly when in sport mode. Roll is significantly reduced. The 35d engine is a peach. It's got to be one of the best diesel engines available.
On a good run taking it easy I can get 41mpg. The X5 would struggle to get 30.
On your options remember you will lose the cubby hole under the steering wheel from the extended storage pack because you have speed limit info.

Great, thanks for the info. I wondered if there was noticable difference in the 30d and 35d engines in say for example low down torque etc. Very much looking forward to VDC.
Ha - thanks for letting me know about the cubby hole. I wasn't aware that there was a cubby hole to begin with, so i'll cope - but thanks for the heads up!
