There were only diesels to test drive but I've had cars with TT I6 motors before and like them, and the B58 is meant to be an excellent unit.
And the engine in my other car is an S55...

Yeah I found the engine great in the X3 M40i which perked my interest in optioning it on the X5. But I think the negative sentiment about diesel is not based in fact but rather a knee-jerk reaction to certain bad events and some poor performers from an emissions perspective in more budget friendly brands. BMW and Merc diesels can be more environmentally friendly than a petrol alternative while also delivering the torque and longer fuel range benefits.
