The old Pepper S had more HP then the 4.4 E53 and the X5 was still quicker. The Pepper ride needs the snails to be quick.

xdrive,
A lil' biased here, as I think the BMW is the "better" car, esp. the
E53 "look", but not sure too many are gonna chase an advertised
30+ hp difference as the main basis of a $70G+, 2 1/2 ton, suv
to drive the streets and highways in...

If one "likes" the Pepper better, for any reason(s), go get it,
but I suspect the cross shopping and, especially the cross
buying, is in the few thousand per year.

I'm always curious as to why one would care what the "group"
thinks about a large, depreciating asset purchase. Buy whatcha
want; that hp diff will probably be "corrected" in a later E70 version,
but I don't think the average buyer will notice or care.
GL,mD

According to Car Magazine, the new E70 4.8 is 10 seconds faster around the "ring" than the E53 4.8iS.

Post that article because the E53 4.8 is quicker then the E70 4.8 in almost every test.

Don't make a statement without backing it up with a link to article. I have driven both and 4.8i is not even close in handling, and yes I have driven a E70 4.8i sport package on highway and on rough roads. The gas pedal in E53 4.8is is very responsive and the handling is much sporty for E53 4.8is as compared to E70 4.8i. Also, E70 4.8is is longer and heavier than E53 4.8is. Beside E70 has 5 HP less than E53. On rough roads E70 4.8i has a smoother ride. I also tried the manumatic shifter on E70 which works as designed. Slalom on E70 is better than E53 4.4i.

I'm confused, in your second sentence you say the 4.8 is not even close in handling, but in your last sentence you say the E70 (4.8i) is better at slalom. Wouldn't that indicate better handling???
