Yes diesel fuel is typically higher priced than gas, BUT you calculate the cost per mile, NOT the cost per gallon. Example: If diesel is $3.00 per gallon and your vehicle gets 30 mpg, your cost-per-mile is $0.10. If gas is $2.70 per gallon and your vehicle gets 18 mpg, your cost-per-mile is $0.15. Simple math.

Also, your gas X 5 requires premium fuel which is higher than diesel.

You can adjust the volume of those backup sensor alerts or mute them all together you know. That kind of makes your rant irrelevant. Also, if you're turning while backing up it's possible to hit something in the front with your quarter panel.

Kev50027 The point being that it should be a smarter system. Just turning it off, or down, doesn't address the fact that it shouldn't treat non-relavant information as urgently as it does actual threats.

Driving Sports TV Sadly, there are a lot of automobile journalists out there pumping out reviews like yours. Do some homework and make your reviews worthwhile... especially to those who might actually be interested in the buying the car you're reviewing. A few points: 1. Another person already pointed this out but I do find the front sensor useful while turning in reverse, particularly in tight spaces. Annoying when you don't need it, yes, but on the occasions that you'll eventually need it, you'll be glad. 2. On fuel savings, there's no doubt that you'll unlikely recover the cost of paying a premium for the diesel engine vs gas in the first place even though diesel is more efficient. We bought diesel because of towing capability, durability, and range. Yes, it's an expensive car, but yes I do care how much fuel we burn as well. 3. Loads of gadgets and the first thing you cover is the sunroof retractor? What about off-road capabilties matched to on-road performance, I'm sure there's a lot of interesting "gadgets" underlying this car that justifies the premium cost over, say, a Hyundai or Ford. Trying talking about those.

When you do parallel parking it is very possible to hit something in front while being in reverse. This is most common way of parking here in EU. So it is quite handy feature.

when reversing from parking spot you absolutely want the front sensors to be on! prevents one from hitting a vehicle beside you as you crank the steering wheel to pull out at an angle because many parking lots won't let you pull out straight back why are you even reviewing cars??

I drive one. This is a European car. In Europe we have narrow parking spaces and high curbs, and we also have to park in parking garages, where there are many poles for structural rigidity. The beep upfront is a different one than in the rear, so you can differentiate. We also have the option for 360° Brids Eye view which helps a lot, since this is one of the biggest cars available, having to park on parking space of a Golf. The front sensor saved my ass many times from hitting an object with the front of the car when reversing and turning at the same time. There is also a wide view camera mode available for the rear. You just have to push the reversing camera button ones and this will activate the thru traffic radars and you actually get 180° angle of view. Also very handy in small intersections. All in all this car is a perfect allrounder with very little compromise. You can tow 7700 lbs with it, it fits your family and all your luggage. The AWD system is perfect in snowy conditions. Its definitely not an off-roader. I did not regret buying it. If you want more power go for the 40d (313Hp - 5,9s 0-62) or 50d (380hp, 4,8s 0-62).

How do you think someone who buys a $60k BMW affords it, by saving money! So yes, a diesel does make sense for this car, and diesel gas is less expensive than premium which the gasoline engine requires... and it gets better MPG... and has more torque... why do they even sell the gasoline engine?

You have no imagination or your comment is plainly stupid. When in reverse you can hit something with your front bumper. For example when turning and reversing out of a tight parking space you can hit another car’s door. So it is a great idea that both front and back ultrasound sensors operate at the same time.

I just had to put a comment this guy did a terrible review. He said at the end that diesel is higher than petrol. Wrong diesel is way much cheaper than petrol and he also said that to who ever buys a $60,000 bmw is not to concerned about savng money. What a dillhole. But then again in the beggining of the video when he opened the sunroof he said "my kid's love that" apparently he has one so that makes a hypocrite!!

At the time this video was filmed diesel was significantly more expensive than even premium petrol in the State of Washington where we're based. These days, diesel is still more expensive but not quite as bad; about .10 higher than premium at most stations. Obviously, this varies around the world.
