bemfelj New Member  6Rep 13Posts Drives: 2020 X6 M50i Join Date: Jan 2019 Location: Slovenia iTrader: (0) Garage List2017 F26 X4 M40i [10.00] |  Anyone here going for M50d? Unfortunately M50i isn't available in EU. Ah least in my country. M40i is too weak per my opinion (performance/fuel usage). 30d is not an option. Maybe a hybrid will come into consideration later this year 45e. But I am strongly leaning towards M50d. Anyone else? |

WantedAnM3 Enlisted Member   26Rep 33Posts Drives: 2019 X5 Join Date: Jan 2019 Location: Melbourne, Australia iTrader: (0) | I did consider it but ended up deciding it wasn’t worth the price differential. It’s not much quicker than the 40i, and reviews I’ve watched have said it doesn’t feel much quicker than the 30d in the real world while using a fair bit more fuel. Additionally I wanted air suspension which can be optioned on the M50d but that’s unwinding some of the ‘M’ on the vehicle, and I didn’t want the 4 wheel steering due to negative reviews, which in Australia is standard on the M50d. |

TheIrishMan Private  22Rep 73Posts Drives: X5 M50d Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Munich, Germany iTrader: (0) | I have ordered the M50d. Collecting it end of April in BMW Welt Munich. Looking forward to the torque and power. Interested to see (and feel) how the 22“ wheels with the M professional suspension will be. |

| TheIrishMan Private 22Rep 73Posts Drives: X5 M50d Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Munich, Germany iTrader: (0) | I have chosen the M Professional Suspension. Thought about air for the comfort but really want the active stabilization DHP on a car like this. I think in comfort mode, although it won’t be as soft as air, it will be comfortable enough. |

There is no bad ride on the new X5, just personal choices what you like. |

I’m curious why the 30d isn’t an option, 620nm not quite enough? |

cataitu Private  43Rep 97Posts Drives: X5 F15 M50d Join Date: May 2014 Location: Luxembourg iTrader: (0) | I also went with the m50d. But I'm not sure yet when I'll collect it. Hopefully end of FEB. (order placed in OCT but I've waited for some DEC build parts). I absolutely love the m50d engine! Currently on F15 m50d and in confort mode it's normal, relaxed, kick it down and it still jumps, but when you want to drive in Sport, you can't compare it to 30d. No way. It's instant speed. About laser, I went with laser lights but can't say this is the reason to have a delay on mine...unfortunately the dealer said he doesn't have a reason for this second delay! |
