I'm sure I already replied to this or are you another person asking the same question !!!???

V8 no question.

Low miles don't suit diesel
Economy with those sort of journeys wont make much diff
Cheaper to buy I suspect with better spec like for like because of the people likely to have bought them
No turbos to blow up
Diesels are going out of fashion
Diesel sounds like a tractor

Do I need to go on.....?

this^  the big petrols (excluding range rovers) arnt as un economical as you may think, i do short journeys and mainly low milage, went from diesel rrs to ml63 and noticed no diffenece in economy despite the ml having 320 bhp more, in your shoes i would go x5m, thats where ill go next i think as its got more power than the ml which not many cars do, they map to well over 600 bhp
