I am looking to replace my leased 2006 525Xi with an X5. I will check on the
diesels. That might be my solution. I liked the car but gas mpg canšt be as
my 27mpg (highway). The prices even leased are very expensive. As they say,
nothing drives like a BMW. I know this first hand now.
Just my thoughts,
dave
