In the near future, we'll be replacing my wifes '02 3.0 with an '08 3.0 and I'm wondering if anyone else has made a similar swap, and if so what is the most noticable difference (improvement or something you miss) between your older and newer models?

1) Is there any improved performance from the engine or tranny?

2) How do you like the panoramic roof vs. the moonroof on the E53?

3) Anyone with a 3rd row seat and actually using it, as it seems suited for only small children?

4) Anything else you can think of?

Seems like a no-brainer but thought I'd throw it out there and get some real world experience.

Thanks!
