As a new poster just looking in from the outside, I would say that anyone nitpicking the new X5 is ENVIOUS of you, and anyone else who was smart enough to wait for the 07 instead of buying an 05 or 06. The 07 is a sweet ride, I've seen it, smelled it, touched it, and dreamed about driving it. This site is great for when problems arise or when you want to modify your new X. You will need it sooner than you think. . .use it for what it's worth and laugh at those with the Gen 1 body style. . .welcome to the X family. . .

that was retarded

Just trying to get through your last comment....I don't like the look of a 1977 Pinto either, must mean I want one.

I actually have a question regarding the 4.8. I test drove the 3.0 (4.8 not in yet) and loved it, for the most part. One thing I noticed was that the steptronic in the 3.0 was very light to the touch. In other words you barely had to put any pressure on the gear selector to change up or down a gear.

I found myself changing gears when I didn't want to. Is this made stiffer in the 4.8?

Thanks

Doubt it, probably the exact same hardware.

I think this forum has lots of nice ppl here and it's worth coming back, try post the same thread in different forum (most you might know which forum) they will probably EAT YOU ALIVE there.

Anyways, it's fun to talk about the car which you love so much and see different POV even tho sometime you are disagree with but it's all matters of one person's opinion you can either take it in or just simply ignored the common.

Congrats on your new ride!!! If you do coming back please post some pictures as I'm sure most of us would love to see your new ride!

If was an Admin I would ban his IP! Get your information from your SA. Ha!
Thanks for stopping by and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.
