Originally, the word was that the diesel x-drive version would be available about the same time as the 550ix overseas (i.e., not USA). In looking through the various non-US BMW websites, the only place it shows up is in Germany. I was told at the NYC autoshow in April that the US would get a diesel version next year (2011). I failed to ask if that included the x-drive version. Anyone hear anything, I'd be grateful for the head's up. Maybe it is selling so well there that they can't supply other markets being that it appears 63% of all their vehicles in Germany are diesel verses gasoline based engines. Thoughts?
