That was 4.4i v8 then. BMW is awesome. It sure does handle pretty well than most cars out there. But the experience i had was a memorable one. it's better off a 5 seater than a 7 actually. I think i'm gifted in a way to drive such a luxury sav. Believe me very noisy engine, but very nice when hit the gas ..... ! 225 km/h effortless. the distence to empty (dte) is not like the Gen 2 ... very inaccurate, this is pin point accurate ! New x5 will do well, not sure here though, definitely in north America ! i have driven one a few times. That was 4.4i v8 then. BMW is awesome.
