Inside Line tests hundreds of vehicles a year, but not every vehicle gets a full write-up. The numbers still tell a story, though, so we present "IL Track Tested." It's a quick rundown of all the data we collected at the track, along with comments direct from the test drivers. Enjoy.

We already showed you what Volkswagen's diesel SUV can do at the track. Now take a look at BMW's intent of diesel power and SUV practicality.

The clumsily titled BMW X5 xDrive35d is a pricey but torque-rich creature of a sport-ute that puts the company's twin-turbo oil-burning six to use as a family hauler as opposed to the 335d sport sedan.

With 580 pound-feet of torque acquirable from just 1,750 rpm, it's a blast off the line, but like most diesels it doesn't quite have the high-end punch of a traditional gasoline engine. Still, it turned in some pretty impressive numbers that should get the attention of any SUV buyer shopping the $50K-plus price range.
