Off topic alert.
the 2011 X5 35i is I6 turbo (twin scroll) with $699 tune will outrun 4.8i. and you'll have 6 pistons even after waranty is over guarantee, the same number of pistons you start with.
But 2011 X5 50i kinda scarry, it has detuned version of X5-M engine, twin scroll turbos fed by 8 exhaust manifold (it's like having 4 turbos), virtually no lag. If speed important gets 2011 X5 50i with tune that thing will be the best thing after sliced-bread.
My only concern of 4.4i TT (on 50i or M version) is it share the same block as our N62 4.4i, can someone spell valley-pan gasket for me?
Hint2, both the twin scroll turbos sit in the valley so have to be removed in fixing the VP leaks, ouch.
