I just don't understand...unless you are towing a 6000# trailer (never) who needs a V8, the 6's are the best engines BMW EVER made!
Living in any metro area what's the friggin' rush what's the hurry? Where are you going ?
SUV's (sorry SAV'sincluded) are NOT race cars.

You know, I totally agree with you, and every time I have tried to justify the extra money/insurance/registration/etc. spent on a V8 for my everyday purposes, I can't.

But there is still that part of me that wishes there were a bit more acceleration available when I need it (perhaps a couple of times a week.) With power, more is always better.
