We don't get a 540d, which would be a relatively easy job to engineer given the relationship between X3 and 5 series.

Wouldn't surprise me to se the X3 M40d dropped for the LCI models either.

The landscape has changed since the X3 M40d was launched - the confirmation of the government's refusal to re-band cars based on WLTP only came mid 2019.
Fair points.

I'm quite surprised how many people on this forum seem to have gone for the 330e. Its seems to be the new "diesel".

Much different choices to when the F3x was launched back in 2012 where everyone was buying diesels (mainly the 330d then later the 335d). So yes, things seem to be moving in a different direction with the G20.
I think BIK rates have dictated the trend towards phev over a diesel
