I think I overstated the original thread title...getting the 4.8 won't end the marriage, not even close. Their would be some heartache that would hopefully pass.

I just came from the lot where it sat...very nice X. It appears to need rubber all around and rear brakes. Carfax said it was a company lease vehicle. I also did an auction check and found that the dealer paid $29,600 at auction for the vehicle (bought in west palm beach fl just 3 days ago). I imagine he will price it somewhere between 34-37K when he actually prices it. I'll take the VIN to my friends at the BMW store on Monday and see what's stored in the BMW maint. system.

I'll keep the thread updated
