Agreed. I drove the X3 35i a while ago and liked it very much.
I am quite familiar with the modern diesel engines from travelling to Europe a fair bit and from test driving the VW Touareg TDI a couple of times. I love the 35i, but I have it stuck in my head that I would enjoy the 30d very much too and I would feel so good about it when it came to fuelling up. The Euro-cycle city mileage rating on the 30d is 6.8 liters/100km which is incredible. I'd imagine it will be a bit optimistic for our conditions, but still.
Now I just need some sort of details as to when the 30d will be available. Hopefully soon because I will otherwise have to break down and just go for the wild 35i.
Thanks for your input and I'll let you know if I can use a hand with making a deal
