Nice pics...the titanium silver looks great in the 4.6is...

Thanks for the replies. It is not exremely low mileage, but an '02 with 60k and full service history. It had the engine sound of a 3.0(at idle) which also impressed me, very quiet. I bought it just out of CPO and have replaced a few things like control arms and cv joints, adjusted camber and it's driving great.

for Mods I have bought a few things to install, but no big ticket items. I would like to add RB's and exhaust. Hopefully I get at least that far before trading it in for something faster

The 4.6is is a beast, stock...with the right mods, your X can be quite faster than even a modded 4.8is and more cost-effective than trading in for something faster. There are also more performance options than other X models

...just my .2cents.

Yeah I would not be trading it in for the 4.8is. I drove both and felt like the 4.6 had more torque. that and I really dislike the facelift.

To me, it's 330i fast. I think it should be M5 fast. Why make the top X5 model with less HP than an M5 and 1,000 pounds heaver?
