4.8 is the best bet. There is one in PA right now brand new going for 67K.

Just a hunch...but on an X5 board you might get an overwhelming suggestion to go with the 4.8
Lots of info here on just what you asked heres one link - 4.8 Vs. Cayenne http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e70-forum/...cayenne-s.html |

well i can't find any other the other car forums...... I saw that thread with the cayenne and really didnt find too much about the cayenne besides its fugly...lol...(which i disagree with, but hey free country). It was more towards the e53 and the e70 4.8's...
Anyone have any experience with the range? |

some more links here. I don't have any personal experience other than I drove the Cayenne S. It felt big and slow and I didn't like the interior - test drive was only five minutes because I didn't want to drive it anymore.

Buddy of mine owned the X for 4 years, traded it for the S, has had it for 2 years and says he wants to get rid of it for another X. He says the S handles slightly better at 100+ other than that he thinks the X is much better. I've driven both quite a bit and prefer the X (go figure). No experience with the RR, great looking car, but it's not going to perform like the Porsche or X even though straight line times are fairly close. RR also ranks highest on most problems per 100 vehicles. BMW doesn't build them like Toyota either, but you'll still probably have better luck.
If you have aspirations of traveling off-road though I'd rank them in reverse order of what I just said... but who really goes rock climbing in a 75k car?

I dunno it may just be me, but I could never stand driving a Porsche that's shared with VW...........

I'd do the Porsche in a second, but the X5 is a better daily and thats what I need.
