The OP will probably like the V8 'better'...but, in my 9 1/2 yrs with our measly 3.0 IL 6, I have never said, "Holy crap we almost got run over/hit/needed more power/coulda' used a V8", etc. It is a 5spd manual, so grabbing a gear makes for right now acceleration; maybe not so with an automatic.

It is not really fast/quick like my Vette or m'cycles, but I have never felt that the E53 3.0 was underpowered. Maybe different in the heavier E70...Otoh, everyone that has a V8 X likes that too.
