That's at least in part because European diesel engines can't run on North American diesel, which has a lower cetane number, and still a risk of getting high sulphur contaminated diesel. So there are special versions for the American market.

I don't think that was to bad (didn't bother with ECO Mode).
Doesn't sound bad at all, but which model X1 was this?
