Honestly Porsche need to get with the times charging that much for a car to come with bi xenon headlights is madness! Heck their sister firm in Audi are strapping LED's as headlights!

As for not having sat nav on a 50K car you can get a 20-30K BMW with it standard!

Having bought my 640D GC now the engine (N57) is the same as the one you test drove in the X3 and is something to behold even though it is being replaced by the B57 starting in the new 7 series.

Only real issue to watch is the timing chain as the N57 is the famous N47 2.0D which suffers timing issues and the N57 simply has a few extra enhancements and two extra cylinders.

Quoted time for the 640D gran coupe about 2000kg all said and done is 5.4 seconds, crazy quick when you want it to be and calm and comfortable when you don't.
