Bottom of the range

I've owned a 3.0d SE for a few weeks now and have driven around 1000 miles already. It's my first diesel and first 4x4.

It really is a fabulous thing. Fast, quiet, great driving position, loads of space and entertaining handling. Now that I replaced the run flats it is comfortable too. I find it hard to believe that BMW designed the suspension with run flats in mind.

I probably have the softest X5 around with 18" wheels and standard suspension but I still find it gives me loads of confidence on tertiary roads.

Agreed. I ran our car with 19" winter tyres and found the ride to be fantastic. Not having sports-suspension helps too!
