Great pics! Both rides look nice and clean. Is that M lowered or is that stock height? Seems to have a lot less wheel gap than your 4.8.

Wow, the E53 still looks so good even when matched up to the X5M. Yes, I'd rather have the M for my towing duties, but the 4.8is is still a looker even as the years go by.

Great pics! Both cars look great. I agree with the others that the e53 holds it's own well even after all these years next to the new M.

Thanks everyone for the comments! I agree the e53 def holds its own, I just wish I had the M's power in the 4.8is..

Ducati, the pictures were actually taken in Freehold at Raceway car wash. The place just opened this year, anyone reading this in the area I would suggest checking it out. They do a great job and most importantly its safe on the wheels and finish

Yup, the M is lowered with spacers all around. My 4.8 is sitting in the lowest setting within adjustable ride height too and still looks high next to the M. Crazy how slammed the M is, one day I'll be getting rid of the stock suspension so I can go lower, I love the way it looks. Actually, a couple weeks ago I had a leak in the front air bags and got two new struts under warranty Thank You God! CPO warranty has been saving my a$$ recently as I'm about to hit 90k miles with my big girl.
