If you're ready to buy that factor could clinch it for you. I had another thought: What's the weight difference between the 3.0 and the 4.8? The brake size and power difference might be somewhat offset by the weight difference. The E53 has about a 300 pound weight difference between the 3.0 and 4.4 so....

If you can wait until November not only might there be an option of 3.5 but maybe a diesel. Also, I was at my dealer yesterday and they are going to finishing construction on a brand new huge facility and they have a plan to offer some nice grand opening specials. I don't know what they'll be but that wait could coincide with new engine choices down the road.

i am purchasing a e70 3.0d in new delhi, india. it is being imported from USA. my dealer said that he will get a shipment of e70s from usa end october early november.

so since they are all being produced in america, i presume they will be on sale in the american market as well.

cheers

any change in HP expected in 2008 models? would it be 5.0?

The dealer had both on the lot, I drove the 3.0 and it was just fine, all I needed, better mileage, etc. The price of the 4.8 was insanely higher (I thought).

Later in the day I drove the 4.8, I can't really remember why, as it was jsut too much more money, more gas....

I ended up with the 4.8.

There's nothing wrong with the 3.0. but if you dont' want to end up with the 4.8, don't drive it!
