What are these seats??

[buschy]

What is this interior? Is this what you get if you dont get comfort seats? and what is it? Also notice the blue trim, is that something that was available or aftermarket crap?

That's a X5 4.6is leather/blue alcantara interior choice with blue interior trim. Not aftermarket at all.

[buschy]

is the alcantra an upgrade?that is an x5 that is for sale right now its supposed to be a 4.8is. by the way how can you tell the 4.8is engine form the 4.4, is it noticable under the hood, I never compared them?

These seats are just sport seats with alcantara

The 4.8is engine looks nothing like the 4.4

This is the 4.8 engine

But it looks exactly like the face-lifted 4.4 engine...

Is the new 4.4 engine the same as the 4.8 engine??

[Sudesh]

Just done a search on this and it is!! Didnt know that. So the 4.8 and 4.4 engine look the same but obviously tuned differently. Suppose that meakes sense as the old 4.4 engine and 4.6 look the same also.

The Alcantara was also offered in the 4.6is. I almost traded for one. I really like it a lot.........especially with the titanium trim all around. It's a sportier look - the all leather is more of a luxury look.
