It's official - I'm in - 2004 X5 4.4
 . Only beef is the initial owner badged it a 4.8. Not a big fan of that, but it'll stick for now. Pretty far down my list. It needs valve cover gaskets, so you know what that journey is like. I'll be doing the cover upgrade for the relocated CCV, so the parts alone make me cry a bit. I factored it in to the mental purchase exercise, so I'm good.  Cheers.

welcome...
this one looks like having the flared rear arches, "iS" bumpers, front, back... sports package, "iS" wheels from facelifted version, oval tailpipes... are you sure it is NOT a 4.8iS? what are the last 7 of the VIN?

Congrats. It looks good in Sterling Gray.
I think he would know the difference between the 4.8iS and the 4.4i, especially on the paper work. The PO must have spent some $$$ to make it a 4.8iS copy if it's indeed a 4.4i. The picture with style132 suggests that it is a 4.4i to me.

for what its worth I think that Sterling Gray belonged to a former member here, I remember him posting it for sale saying that he spent a lot of money making a Sterling Gray 4.8iS conversion (bodywork, etc)
Looks great!

^If this is the one you're talking about, Alecx5 is in Chicago and his has style177. I don't think he badge it as 4.8iS either. Also his was lowered on B&G springs.
Maybe the next owner replace the wheels and did the badging. For reference: http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...etup-pics.html
