Looking @ New Cars
I'll be trading in my 02 X5 in the next month or so it's time tho!

I'm considering:

Audi A6 3.2
BMW 335i Coupe
BMW 07 X5 3.0si


Any experiences/suggestions with these babies?

Also what are the exterior differences in the 3.0si and the 4.8i? Besides the exhaust, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the only exterior difference the sport package? Is it possible to install the 4.6i exhaust on the 3.0si? Sorry if these answers are in the forums, excuse my laziness.

I love my 07 X5 3.0si...it's a fantastic all around vehicle. Driving wise, it feels more like a 5 Series, much less jumpy than the old X5. It feels planted, and the power from the 6 is more than adequate. You can swap grilles/inserts if you'd like from the 4.8i. Do you need the space of an SUV?

I've heard the A6 is a very good car, but not fantastic in anyway, just a well rounded sedan.

I tried building the two models on the website...it seems to me that the sport package in the 3.0si and the 4.8i are exactly the same (grill inserts, black moldings, wheels)

I already have an SUV...so it's hard to imagine going to ground level, but the X5 is the only SUV I like in my price range

I have only heard of a handful of cars with problems, I'd go for the 335 or the M coupe if you dont want an suv
