Your volvo looks like the v8 model, feels stronger than the BMW 3.0L?

The XC was the first generation T6 model modified to 320bhp and over 410nM of torque.

Have not pushed the engine yet as am running it in but surprisingly the 3.0 does not feel that bad. I can imagine that the 4.8 would be an entirely different level.

HOWEVER, the XC was also modified in the suspension area with Heico full suspension including shocks and springs and I can already say that the X5's handling runs rings around the Swedish car. The Germans just really know how to go around a corner...

You are bound to love the X5... just wish that I could have sprung for a 4.8 but in the current economic environment could not convince the wife

Welcome - love the rides. Seeing as you have a Porsche, I wonder how much you'll get into the BMW... LOL!

All, much thanks for the welcome again.

Ha ha, believe me, I would much rather get into the X5.. the yellow car is just too noisy and rough!!! I keep it for those days when I need to convince myself I am still young! Besides, the X gets the vote from my kids and more importantly the wife!!!

Didn't I read somewhere that BMW stands for "Better Maintained Wife"? I guess that's better than "Bubba makes wheels" or "Big money wasted".
