Well, there's a lot of current models with 3.0i engine on the roads and I quess they are satisfied. It's a matter of how much performance you want. New model is heavier, but it has a lot better engine having more torque especially in low rpm and also a lot more HP than current model and when you hook that to better transmission I think E70 will be better. I'm also considering of bying the 3.0si instead of trading my 4.6is to 4.8i, that would be a family car with more space and softer suspension
