I may never buy a VW, Porsche, or Audi as a result of what they did to diesel. The X5 35d has been under a microscope ever since and it has passed every test. I think diesel is still the best solution for heavy vehicles like the X5 that are used primarily for long trips.
I'm on my second X5 35d and I love it. If they aren't offering one when the lease is up, I'll buy it out with an extended warranty or shop for something else. There are a lot of nice gas SUVs out there.
