Thanx for the advice.
I actually do not mind doing maintenance to my cars, to some degree. God knows my 850 puts me to the test. now THATS maintenance required. NEVER get the V12 in an 8 series. Be for warned. (but after all the repairs, mine runs top notch now)
I have a 330 and LOVE that engine, but just feel it would be underpowered in such a large vehicle.
I currently have a 4.7L grand cherokee and that beast has a nice hp/weight ratio, so I'm looking for the same result in the X5
