Any potential buyers of one of these on PH? Must admit I am a little curious and will probably trek to a dealer soon to check one out.

Well if you, make sure you drive on some bumpy roads before parting with your cash - all the reviews I've read claim it has an awful ride that ruins the car.Cheers

So 5.1 secs to 62, this is a seriously quick car, diesels really do offer some serious grunt the new 330d xdrive is 5.3 to 62.
Thing is though they (fast diesels) are completely without any character whatsoever, in my experience figures do not tell you what it's like to get there.
I had the new 330d for a weekend, great car really fast but dull, oh so dull in the way it delivered the pace.

Hello
I have one. Its good. It is quick and the ride is a little bumpy but I blame that on the dreadful state of the roads that I commute on. However at the end of a day I only need one car. A nice one to commute in, a decent one that I can zipp down to the Alps in and one that I can carry my two children in. (I dont have the need to buy a Porsche as a second car that doesn't get used).
I used to have an X5 and this is a step up in performance, economy and refinement. The fuel economy is good but they do need to change the testing as no cars are hitting their published results in real life conditions. 29-33 mpg
Nothing has fallen off as yet, I have curbed two of the 21's which I think are made out of cheese.
So all in all a good car.
OK the 2.0l Q5 would do the same but if you are on this forum its not about that.
