I like the latex glove idea. Thanks, I'm leaning toward diesel for my next X5. On a flat highway at 65 mph, my previous 3.0i could get 24-25 mpg. My current 4.4 can get 23 mpg. I'm looking forward to see what I can squeeze out of a diesel.

My other question is . . . Is the X5 diesel as quiet and smooth as the ML320 CDI? I test drove the current Mercedes and was amazed by the quiet power of the 320 CDI.

Please no biased BMW is the only choice. If somebody has driven both diesels, let me know if you noticed much of a difference.

Thanks in advance,
Bigfoot

p.s. I never implied European mayors are messy. I have just heard the diesel pumps can be messy . . . and that has been confirmed.
