Differences other than Grill and Engine?

[morecowbell]

I am ordering a 2009 x5 3.0 today.

Other than the Grill, Exhaust tips and engine...are there any other differences between the two cars? Looks wise?

I am ordering:

Space gray with Black Navada

ZPP
ZSP
ZTP
ZCW
ZRC
IPOD
SAT RAD
RUNNING BOARDS

between the 2009 x5 3.0 and what? the 2008 model? I don't think there is any difference.

[morecowbell]

Nope 2009 x5 3.0 versus 2009 x5.4.8

The only differences i've found are:

Engine (obvious)
Exhaust tips
Grill

Am I missing anything?

The 4.8 rides higher on the left side (driver's).






cause of the lighter wallet.

Another difference is the window trim. 4.8 STD has chrome and 3.0 has black rubber. Of course, if you are order the Sport Pkg, this does not apply. Also, the STD 18" wheel design is different.

I am getting sport...Shadowline trim. I'm told is looks amazing on Space Gray.

wheel options and fender flares if you go with 20s on the 4.8i... but can easily be done aftermarket.

there is a design flaw in the 4.8 fuel tank that makes fuel disappear quicker.

Grill difference is irrelevant as 3.0 owners see 4.8s only from the back
