Many here on X5 world will scream and rant about what they feel is better, but to each his own, I'm speaking from my personal experience. I've driven 06 4.8is, 4.4i 05, 04, etc, and I must say that they are not what you think they are. They feel slower and a lot of hesitation upon acceleration. This is again my personal experience.
