Wife's car is involved in the VW dieselgate scandal so have been researching to find a replacement vehicle, was curious if anyone had been around an X5 with the diesel? Was curious how reliable they were etc...

Something to consider is they're rare, so parts availability may be limited & spendy. And I'd venture to guess that finding technicians/mechanics that know that engine is even more limited. Once deleted, it does seem like they're reliable & can be modded to be pretty dang healthy!
