Much as I love the X5, and always plan to have one in the
family, I'm taking a break. Going from the 3.0 to the 4.6is made me realise how much I am in it for
handling, and not so much raw power.
I realized the mods it would take to improve the handling of my 4.6is, coupled with the fiercely declining value, was a very unwise move. These mods would include changing the steering rack, sway bars, suspension, etc.
The 4.6is shall be forever known as the Ultimate
Parking Machine due to it's ridiculous steering system which removes all road feel.
So, this should keep me busy for a while, at least until I can pay cash for another 3.0 sport
Hope to still be around gathering information and helping where I can
