The 3.0i are more than out there because consumers love more 3.0i and its price is more affordable and less maintenance cost.

Moh, leave me alone bud. I have seen you are sitting here to post, reply over months in order to increase your post number and trying to sell your parts. However, what i have seen during the CT meet in June, i can tell you are a guy who doesn't know about X5 mods and upgrade. The simple replacement HID ballast fixing some error that you never know how to fix. you need help from Tom and he helped you while i was there.

If i were you, i don't want to spend a lot of money and time to do the mod or showing off people if i don't know how to do things such HID ballast replacement. Upon returning to me, i do mods and when i know how to do it myself (just my opinion)

Please don't use those shit or stupidity, they don't apply to me.

shit and stupidity do apply to you.

1. your posts make no sense
2. you are angry i listed my old exhaust tips for sale, and mention it in every post, including this one, and claim if you had some you would give them for free (good for you). but recently in another post you asked a member to PM you an offer for your old tips (hypocrite?).
3. tom did help me at the meet. i appreciate that. the issue wasn't resolved, its nobody's fault. what does that have to do with anything?
4. 'i am a guy who doesnt know about x5 mods and upgrades' ? are you serious? lets have other peoples input and see which X5 wins

I have both an 02 I6 X5 and an 05 V8. The V8 is now my daily driver. It is way more fun to drive. I love how it effortlessly gets to speed. It is smooth and you only have to wind it out if you want to put a smile on your face and hear that great sound. The I6 might be more reliable and it is inherently less to maintain because there are fewer parts. I have found that the mpg difference is actually not that different. My I6 gets around 18-19 in mixed city highway. My V8 consistently averages 18 in mixed driving. On the road the V8 gets a little better mpg. The engine is running at lower rpm and it has 6 gears vs. my I6 5 speed transmission. They are both great engines. The I6 is not under powered nor over powered. I would say it is a little below adequate. The V8 is perfect if you can afford it and love that great v8 sound.

AZX, as i said everyone has his/her own choice for 3.0 or 4.4. I have no problem with 4.4/4.8 or 3.0 at all. My point was gas issue between 3.0 (I6) and 4.4/4.8 v8. I cant believe someone like killcrap said 3.0 gas mileage worst than the 4.4i v8 engine. It's understandable, someone here just arguing and it does not make sense.

Moh, i drive BMW 5 series back in 2000 and long before you acquired your X5. Unlike today, there were not many BMW drivers 10 years ago. Thus, X5 or BMW technology is not new to me. and it's just another fun car to drive. You said that i don't know anything about BMW/X5, take that with you

About CD changer haha I PM you and Tom, stating that i don't want it for free and you shipped it to Tom in returning for his work regarding your HID headlight. I didn't want to take anything from you since i gave you my home address and you keeping complaining your headlight and never ship it you me. So i told you that ship it to Tom since i don't need it. Tom did a goodwill to me, i never requested to have it. It's ok since it's free, but the way you promised and did different what you told me. i don't need it.

For sure, I totally understand what your saying. He was probably pulling the mpg statistics from a website like edmunds or something else. They actually do rate the 4.4 as getting better mpg than the 3.0. That is highly unlikely in the real world. Like I was saying i get around the same mpg in my 4.4 as i do in the 3.0. The 3.0 does get 1-2 mpg better in the city. They are both awesome engines and you cant go wrong with either one. However, at the end of the day the 3.0 is probably getting somewhat better mpg.

My god dude, you really lack the ability to comprehend. First of all, it doesn't matter how long you've owned a car, if you have no passion for it you will just know the basics; so that point your trying to make is irrelevant.

CD changer is also irrelevant, it was a personal thing, but since you want to make it public don't lie. Tom at the meet in CT installed ballasts for me which was awesome and great. I wanted to thank him and offered him a CD changer I had which he wanted to give to you, so he told me to ship it to you. You and I kept in-touch via PM and you sent me your address. 2-3 weeks went by, yes, but I continuously told you to be patient and that I was going to send it. You never said you needed it at a certain time, and I told you I was extremely busy with work at the time as I was relocating to a different store. Post office closes at 5pm, and I didn't go out of my way for something that we were both cool about. Then one day you flip out, out of nowhere, and accuse me of being a liar and lying about my xenon issue and all this crap. What you should have done was let me know, with the same respect I was giving you, that you needed it soon. I would have arranged for that. If i denied that request then you could flip out or whatever floats your boat.

And just to reply to you whining about me using the word shit, we are all adults here. calm down. shit isn't a 'bad' word.

And about the personal comment, yes it is personal when you accuse me of lying on this forum, and when you stalk all my for-sale threads and somehow try to say that selling my no longer used parts is wrong, yet turn around and offer your old parts for sale.

I've helped many people on this forum, and they have helped me. That is why I am part of this forum, and that is the purpose of the forum. You are the ONLY person who I have ever had an issue with on this forum (and it seems like you have issues with a bunch of other people too). Maybe you should rethink why YOU are on this forum rather than trying to prove me a liar or someone who uses 'bad words' when you are posting nonsense and roaming the forum like a little kid causing drama.

Sorry to the OP for all this drama on the thread, but this guy drives me nuts and leaves me with no choice but to respond. Hopefully this is the last time I have to direct anything towards him. And I apologize in advance for him showing off his old 5 series randomly on a 3.0/4.4 thread.

Mohohamed, this is public forum, those sh..t and dirty stuffs are coming from your mouth? hahaha. Keep it up Moh lol....

I had an 05 3.0 which I recently traded for 06 4.4. IMO if you mostly drive in town at relatively low speeds I recommend the 3.0. It's fun to drive, picks up quick, revs quick spritely enough. My 4.4 has all the bells too which are nice. It rides smoother with air suspension but idles rougher....the I6 was so smooth. 4.4 feels richer and more luxurious and on the highway ...what a kickdown! MPG, for me the 3.0 did get 2-3 mpg better.
