Good write up BGSquad. Ill be coming up to a year in January with my X5 3.0. I think I do wish I got the V8 but at the same time, it's my daily commuter and my city gas mileage would probably suck. And given the fact that i'm a cheapskate, I'd probably hate myself.

I too am very satisfied with the oomph that the 3.0 delivers. I did a large maintenance service (which I'll describe as growing pains) when I purchased it at 85K miles and now at 98K 9 months later, I'm still loving it. I do plan to always keep the X in the lineup. Best balanced vehicle I've ever driven.
