Ummmmm that IS km/h I hope?
I got the next-gen X5 (G-something?) as a rental once, with the B58 motor. It went real fast but felt huge.
Your N55 is known for leaking oil filter housing gaskets and leaky valve covers. I have that engine in my 3er, and so far no leaks despite being almost 11 years old but with low mileage. Both are a large pain in the ass to replace, and the OFHG failure can lead to serpentine belt failure or even ingestion through the front main seal. Just a heads-up.
