Rui, sounds like we have similar X's! I agree, in sport mode, the tranny is awesome, always shifts at the right times and downshifts when I need her to. I have a 550i for Spring/Summer/Fall driving and always look forward to driving the old X5 during Winter - I don't have the heart to sell her and after 109K miles, she still runs like new. A nice mod is the LED tails, really freshens up her ass-end and several people have thought that it's a new car as a result. They are floored when they find out it's a 9 year-old car with over 100K on the clock!
