[QUOTE=rockblock;692644]really?...the 4.8 feels slower than the 4.4?...interesting

its heavier than e53,,, and since your looking for 4.4 vs 3.0 comparison, i have been driving a '09 3.0 since mine's been at dealer for 2 wks now and i'm impressed with the ride quality than my e53. A lot less bounce and after driving around d.c. during this weekends blizzard, i find it very controllable in those situation better than old one. This is 2nd time i had a e70 loaner the 1st time with a 4.8 and having a 4.4 with mine, i craved for the power of the v8. 3.0 just don't cut it.

another + for the e70 is the space.
