#1 of 1 x5 35d questions (iDrive and diesel) by sbonder May 10, 2009 (3:42 am)
Considering the x5 35d. I was hoping to jump into one soon, but the 2010 model is not that far off, so here are my questions: 1) is the new iDrive just prettier or actually a lot more functional? I played briefly with both and can see that with a bit of use I would get use to either. 2) Any problems or updates in the Diesel engine that I should be aware of that make the 2010 a better bet? 3) Any thoughts or info on how much more the 2010 will be? Will I save a good amount by going with the 2009? Thanks.
