no they drive the same. But the '09 probably has more fixes in place than an '08 that doesn't have the latest firmware.

I've been looking at a 2008 and 2009. The 08 is cheaper now. The reason I want the 09 is first is newer and it has xdrive. I'm a big BMW fan. Previous car was a 5 series.

I thought you were talking about the xdrive badge itself on the doors that started in '09. All X5s of all years have xdrive AWD. '08 & '09 is identical in that regard... they just decided to add a long ugly badge that year.
