I watched a special on the new X5 and I am pretty sure they said that the new 4.8 was faster around the Nurburgring than the previous 4.8is. Maybe I am mistaken and they said 4.6is.
OK, I just re-read what I was originally talking about. The e70 X5 4.8 is 10 seconds faster around the Nurburgring than the e53. I now realize that they are probably comparing it to the 4.4, not the 4.6 or 4.8.
Sorry, I didn't mean to insult you 4.6is or 4.8is guys. I just made an honest mistake. Still sort of new here.
