Facts are facts, there are more 3.0s out there - they also out number the V8s for resale by an enormous ratio - the 3.0 is a great engine, but comes up alittle short when trying to muscle around 5000+lbs - as I said earlier, the 4.4 gets the best mileage of all the engines for the X5 - the 3.0 in the new X3 works great - my pick for the future(here in the USA) is the 3.0 turbo diesel - that's what I'm looking forward to

if you get the 4.4i, you'll automatically also get 6 gears, Dynamic Xenons (they turn with the steering wheel), Titanium grills, and 4 exhausts.

I'm in the market for the same vehicle. I think I made my choice.

I had an 03 X5 3.0 with the Dinan AT and Performance software and 20" Type 87 wheels and it was okay for day to day but I really hated things like merging and passing cause the engine is just plan slow...for the size of the car and the speed of highway traffic in my opinion. Yeah it gets to 80 mph but dang if it doesn't take too long to get there. Alot of times I can remember watchin the 18 wheelers bearing down on me and looking at the speedometer and pleading for it to go a little bit faster!
 So I got the car in Aug 2006 and traded it in Feb 2007 for an 03 4.4i and haven't looked back since! The v8 is smooth, gas mileage is basically the same give or take 1-2 mpg's and the extra torque is very nice! They even upgraded it to the Dinan Performance AT and Upgraded engine software too on my 4.4. so other than the extra $$ spent refiancing a newer car...it was an overall pleasant and worthy experience! I'd do it again most definately without thinking! PS...also looked at the new 2007 X5 3.0 vs 2007 X5 4.8 but IMHO wasn't worth the cost they're askin for those right now.

A 3.0L with 17's or 18's will be ok acceleration wise. I have a 3.0L with 18's and it is fine for merging on the freeway. The larger wheels like the 20" hurt the acceleration if you run them on the 3.0L.

We love our 4.4i and it gets better mileage than our former six-cylinder Touareg. I have never driven the 3.0i.

I have a 2002 X5 3.0, no complaints whatsoever on the freeway, in fact I always told the x5 was done for driving on the freeway (more than city driving), it "floats", no problem with the 3.0 passing cars... it's sweet.
