Had the opportunity to compare 2 liter diesel and gas versions of X3 when I was provided a gas-powered loaner. Shared your feeling about the instant power of the diesel. Even though the diesel version is not as quick in 0 to 60 comparison, it feels more powerful and zippy especially in city driving. Was glad to get my car back after it was serviced. Have not had a chance to compare my 535d with 535i, but you seem to like the former.
