An 8 spd transmission allows you to use a numerically higher rear end gear (a so called “lower” gear) without a concomitant penalty in mpg. Performance comes about by also using “lower” gears in the first 4 cogs (as compared to a 6 spd ). This gets the rpms up quicker to bring this engine into its power band much sooner, resulting in a faster 0-60 and an overall faster vehicle. Gears 5&6 are similar to the 6 spd’s 4-5th, so you are ahead of the 6 spd already which has only one gear left. Gear 7-8 allows you to bring down or meter out that high rear end gear and rewards you with highway mileage equal to or better than the 6 spd. There is no weight penalty as BMW says its 8 spd weighs no more than the 6 spd. Software allows fast gear changes so no time is lost shifting. The two extra cogs essentially make a vehicle faster by use of aggressive gearing without having to increase engine horsepower! BMW made its “driver’s SUV” even more of a driver. It’s a huge improvement with little cost. Just wish the bigger diesel was available in the US.

T. states: “The X5 xDrive 40d is due this Spring as is an X6 xDrive 40d”

It’s spring now, and the X5 40d is NOT available and cannot be ordered. There is no published, authoritative schedule for its release in the U.S. Only the UK and Europe.

Clearly T’s statement was only only a guess.

I have been watching the rumors on Xoutpost. Seems to be a general consensus that the factory is closing on or around March, with a release of the LCI sometime in April or May. Does anyone have additional information?

At this point, I think timing of the LCI release is what everyone is most interested in.

@ Ronald, thank you for the reply. Actually, it is not too late for me, as I have up until the actual delivery to change my mind and to get my deposit back. So, do you mean that the facelift model will be arriving in Spring or that it will simply be announced in April? It makes a difference to me, as I’d wait a few months for the updated model, but not 6-9 months.

Thanks,

Calvin

e92law, I have never heard of the factory closing in March. Normally it closes in August for holidays. If it is true that it is closing in march, that probably means they need to change the machinery and procedures for the new models.

where did u hear it from that they were closing in March?

Same here!! Currently on order with no confirmed build date. Any word on timing? Last I heard was that the factory would be closing in March. Any news?

Calvin Tang, As stated above it will be released in Spring. So arounf march\ April. But if you are taking delivery already next week, it is too late for you to cancel your order isnt it?

Sorry for the last comment, I was having troubles logging in.

So, how does this information affect the rumors for a facelift this Spring? Are we still going to see a new front and rear end w/ LED, etc? new interior?

I’d really like to know the timing of the rumored facelifted vehicles’ arrival, because I’m set to take delivery of a 2010 X5d next week!
