Never drove a 4.4, however, I love mine. Good power and great handling. Looks better too, IMO.
If you like it, get it. The CPO will help ease any big issues. Do you have any factory warranty left? Mine is good until July, so I am getting every little thing I can find, taken care of.
They are replacing the rear door shadowline trim, due to a peeling spot, and the right side roof rack, as there is some bubbling under the paint in one spot.
Plus I am getting the brake fluid changed as it is due, and still under free maintenance.

How do you like the nappa? At first I didn't like it, now it's a different story.

Love it. I worried a little at first, but now... Not really. It looks like it will hold up fine. It liked the Lexol I put on it. Softened up nice.

Yeah it's pretty awesome! I think I made a good call on this x5. I'm really liking it. Doesn't have the sporty ride like my e53 sport did, but this will do. Maybe when I get the 20" on it that will help.
