hardcrab is on a distinguished road
We bought an '07 last fall with the 4.8. We consistenty average 19.?? mpg. (we live rural- no city driving). My wife and I both enjoy driving this car more than any other we have owned- (everything from Jags, Merc's, other BMW's,...). I don't think it would be the same without the V8. It's just a blast to drive.

The way I look at it is it probably costs me less than $35 extra a month in fuel to drive the V8 vs. the 6 (we drive less than 10k per year). If $35/mo. extra is an issue to me, I have no business driving a ~40K used car- I should get a Kia instead.

Life's short- get what you want and don't sweat the small potatoes-

Edit- is there an "e" in potatoes? I can never remember.
