    Hi Guys,

    Just want to ask the experts. Which is better to buy as used car? An X5 diesel or gas? Im choosing between a 2001 to 2003 4.4i Sports Package or the 3.0d Executive... I will just use it as a weekend car...:-)

    Appreciate your inputs...

    TIA

    Hi In my opinion diesel is the way to go. Based on experienced and based from what I heard from BMW technicians, diesel engine is perfect for the Philippines.

    Yep. And its cheaper to run since gas prices are striking up high already.

    Thanks for the inputs.. I will test drive both variants but I'm more inclined to get the 3.0d...

    tama yan test drive and compare, that's the ultimate testing if it fits your driving style.

2001-2003 BMW X5 4.4i or 3.0d
