"newer supercharged engine, 8 speed transmission, and the aforementioned MMI3"

i'm actively searching for the info as well as creating this thread, can anyone advise if the supercharged engine applies only to the petrol version? i'm looking at getting a 3.0 tdi. what is the mpg for the 2010 model tdi compared to the 2011?

"Improved 3.0 TDI now with start-stop

The diesel line-up has also been extensively reworked, the most notable changes benefiting the 3.0-litre V6 TDI, which in its latest form is essentially new from the ground-up, and 20kg lighter as a result. Constructed using a complex new cylinder wall machining process that reduces friction, and aided by newly introduced engine start-stop technology, the second generation V6 employs an even more responsive turbocharger, an enhanced common rail fuel injection system and new chain-driven timing gear to deliver a 19 per cent improvement in fuel economy compared with its predecessor.

In the combined cycle test it achieves 38.2mpg, which equates to an impressively low CO2 output of 195g/km, yet with a rated output of 240PS and a constant 550 Nm of torque available all the way from 1,750 to 2,500 rpm, it is also capable of powering the Q7 from rest to 62mph in 7.9 seconds – a 0.6-second improvement - and on to a top speed of 135mph. "

ok so thats the engine improvements, can anyone advise on anything else?

2G MMI to 3G MMI. You will also see some interior door panel and exterior lighting changes and minor body reworking.
Rims depending on model and size.
