Hi Glos Guy,
Agree. Private buyers are waking up to the advantages of the demonised “fuel of the Antichrist” None better for larger SUVs. My brother had use of an X7 40D for a year. Fabulous until you needed to park it. Since then, a more sensible 3 series touring 30D and now a M40d. He raves about the 40D, but I haven’t experienced it as could not get out again without a hoist. Sounds good from the outside for a diesel.
