2 noticed things. People are not happy with the sound system and the shift points are awkward. I am pretty satisfied with the shift points in my 01 4.4i and it always seesm to kick in at the right time. Another thing I noticed is DSP in the 2001 model sounds better than the DSP in the newer models. I am not sure why this is, but I compared my 01 with my neighbors 05 and we both agree that the 01 sounds much better.

Ok...after all that...you still have 355 hp and would leave my little 4.4i in the dust. After driving the 4.8i it really makes me want to drop a supercharger in my X5. With all the other mods, I could have the first 4 year old X5 that costs as much as a new 4.8i.
