Buying an '05 4.8is.....

[BloodRedHog]

Been awhile since I posted...feels good.

After selling my 330, I have had BMW withdrawals. In fact, I've gone through an M35X and currently have Jeep GC SRT8 and hate them both.

My wife now wants an X5. I only want a V8, and the '08's are priced out of my comfort zone....so I looked around and found a 2005 4.8is with 33,000 miles...only 38k.

I feel it's a good deal.

Any 4.8 owners out there that can warn of any potential reliability issues for that particlar year?
Consumer Reports says 05 V8's had poor reliability in the areas of minor transmission, power equipment and audio systems.

Thanks.
