Been away awhile. I’ve seen started building a collection of BMW diesels. I have 2 X5ds and just bought a 335d with about $20k in mods. I’ve been so wrapped up in my family, cars and work that I haven’t checked in here in months.
I drive a 530d Touring mild-hybrid, but wouldn't call myself an enthusiast. When you're in sales and drive a lot of kilometers per year, cars become commodities. It just needs to be reliable, comfy and calm at high speeds (welcome to Germany)...
I drive 150-250 miles a day 6 days a week for work. I put 45k miles on my X5d this year since I got it in February. I love driving it on the Interstate. The power and fuel economy with an SUV are hard to beat.
BMW X4 Driver here. Got the 2.0 Turbo Desel.
Fun to drive, and super economical. Drove the next state over on one tank what is pretty amazing given the highway miles covered.
