Than JCL, thats what I'm thinking so also.
there IS a 2002 4.4i loaded here i'm interested in, with just 62k miles on it for $14,500 so I'll keep my ear to the ground on that one, but also look for newer ones.
I like the idea of more gears, since i drive the highway every day, and that would be nifty.
Yeah vehichle history is also a huge benefit, and I will call on it to see if this dealership knows of it.
thanx for the replies guys.

I'm currently reading reviews on the xDrive system and trying to find if anyone finds it a night and day difference over the awd system on the pre-2004 models...

I will be driving this mainly in the snow/winter so it needs to have a great awd system.
