Hi folks,

Thinking of buying an x5 around 2001 model and was surprised by the mpg
figures.

Is it right that the mpg figures for the 3.0 and 4.4 petrol are virtually
the same?

Don't know about the 2001 models, but according to BMW NA, the current EPA
mileage for the 2006 X5 3.0 is about the same (or slightly worse) than the
4.4. I guess 4,700 pounds is a bit much for a 3 litre.

Many people don't understand this point. For instance, I had an Isuzu
Trooper with the 2.3L I4 engine. It got almost exactly the mileage as
the 2.8L V6 model. Most trucks' (including SUVs like the X5) mileage
figures are limited by air resistance at highway speeds, and by the weight
factor at low (city) speeds.

Since you're in the UK, buy a diesel X5 3.0 - the mileage will be better by
far.

Yes - but it will cost a lot more to buy. Early 3 litre petrol are pretty
cheap now.

On paper but in a 4.4 the temptation is to boot it a lot which will drink a
lot more. I got 33.6mpg on a 500 mile motorway run yesterday in a 3.0d
