We did a few test drives between the 3.0 and 4.8. We debated the issue and me coming from a 5.7L V8, I liked the oomph of the 4.8.

Right now we use my truck for towing our 3,000 lbs popup, but I could foresee a few times it might be nice to tow with the X5 for the comfort level. The 4.8 will be a better fit for that duty.

You've piqued my interest though on why a 3.0 would hold value better than the 4.8. Why would that be?
