Lowly 3.0 5spd here...
In almost 14 yrs and ~103,000 miles I have never said or thought, "Holy fookin moly, if I only had a V8 instead of this IL6".

Agree that the 3.0 acceleration "isn't anything to write home about", but I have never felt the acceleration was inadequate or missed not having a V8.

I have driven several V8 E5s, E70s and a very fast X6: all wonderful, but the 3.0 is not lacking in 'power', imo.
