I was told that this isn't a lot for a 2002 model?

The car was imported from Germany. It was inspected for flood damange, accidents, axis, wheels etc before purchase. The engine was tested out while driving, performed flawlessly just that little sound when the car is warm if anyone's got a clue at what am trying to describe lol.

Its really not about being cheap, considering buying a 2nd hand X5 around here gievn that a brand new X5 3.0 2007 costs close to USD 140K.

The rpm goes from beginning to end and shifts gear without a single variation in sound all goes perfect, its just that when the car is rolling and you step suddenly on the accelerator it almost feels like you are getting some air or something before the purring sound and acceleration starts.. doesnt happen each time.. could be just a litlte tuning needed?
