[330dMSXD]

As the title suggests has any UK based X5 3.0d owner/potential purchaser made any comparisons with the 2020 Mercedes GLE 350d AMG Line Plus?

I have deliberately chosen the 350d as it has a V6 diesel engine which is comparable in power output as the BMW 3.0d unit.

On paper the Mercedes does appear to be a premium vehicle with a very good specification and at a very competative price. The only downside for me personally is the column gear change as it is something I have never experienced in 35 years of driving.

Any comments greatly appreciated.
