So I've had a 4.6iS and a 4.8iS. I've always loved the E53s and I find myself still looking at them (almost daily). I had an up and down experience with both as many of you have over the years. Whether it was transmission woes/window regulators/TCG on the 4.6 or the paranoia of valve stem seals/air ride suspension on the 4.8. But I don't know what it is about these SAVs that keeps me coming back...I've been pondering dipping my fingers back into the koolaid again but it would only be for the right one. As time goes on, these things are harder and harder to find in good, reliable shape. Actually leaning more towards 4.6iS again.

So, fellow XOutPosters - sway me. Should I pick another one up? (3.0i is not an option, no offense to those owners)
