Finally time to trade in my e53 4.4i for an e70 4.8i.

Now for the decision making process. Is there any noticeable difference in reliability between an '07 with 130k miles and and '09 with 110k.

The '09 is $14,750 fully equipped. (Chicago car)
The '07 is $13,570 equally as equipped. (Florida car)

I have been tracking CL, cars.com, etc for months and finally found these two after a lot of search.

Both one owner
Both regular oil change certified on CarFax, etc. Both well maintained and really pristine. But reliability over 100k is very questionable and I want to set myself up for some long-term reliability.

Any suggestions or input? Anyone been in this position? What swayed your opinion?
