Sedoy is on a distinguished road
1. Much better tranny - new ZF 8-speed.
2. Newer great N55 engine, if you into chip-tuning you should be able to get extra 40 whp with just procede, plus even more with DP, CAI, exhaust ect.
3. MPG: N55 with 8-speed tranny should be considerably better than 4.8i with 6-speed especially on freeway (I predict 4-6 real world mpg).
4. Weight: 4960 lbs. vs. 5335 lbs (it's like 3 skinny girls in 4.8i at all times).
5. Better looking rear bumper, especially with new aero kit.

I’m not really sure why people complain about exhaust tips, it’s like one of the easiest mods you can do.
