The x5 diesel is awesome, this is my first Diesel engine and I would not trade it for the gas version. Mine is a 2011 at it only has the 6 speed trans and I get 22mpg in normal mixed driving. I can get 26-28 on the highway if I keep it below 80mph. The new x5 diesel is coming out in q1 2014 with an 8 speed trans, that should put the mpg closer to 30mpg highway. The diesel really pulls off the line with over 400 ft of torque, it does fall off once you get it up over 40 mpg but I'm not using it for drag racing. The thing that I like about it is after 40k miles it's only been in the shop for oil changes and urea fill ups, both of which are free for the first 5 years or 50k miles. The car calls home to BMW when it wants service and they email me to see when they can come get it. For me I'll stick with my x5, my wife on the other hand loves her LR (this is her third). It's a tank and she always feels safe.
