The model to get is the 730d Sport! an ex demo will set you back about £40,000.

er,

personally I hate diesels, plus the 3.0d in a heavy car has to be very weak. It is just about ok in the 3 but the 7???

x5x3,

the 730d is absolutley blistering. the new six speed gearbox and increased brake over the 3 series engine my friend.

it produces ferocious amounts of torque and believe me it flies. next time your in birmingham drop me a line i'll take you for a blast in the oil burning barge...

Correct - I've had a dual carraigeway blast against a 730d and its certainly no slouch!

I guess it will have to be seen to be believed....

I do not like diesels, I am a recent convert from a TVR, so a 3 litre straight six petrol seems rather restricted! As for a clunky oil burner!

I may take you up on your offer next time I'm over there, otherwise I will see what my local dealer has in at my next service (about 3-4 weeks away).
