2008 X5 4.8is

I've noticed that some X's have badges on the side with the 's' after the 'i'. I assume this means sport. I have a 2008 X5 4.8 with the sports package, but I just have an 'i' on the badges. Was I supposed to have an 's' too?

Could you explain why they cut "s" in the 3.0si 2008 model, like this http://accessories.bmwusa.com/Access...px?modelId=248

I would guess it is a typo.

The Si in the case of the 3.0 indicates the higher output version of that powerplant. The non- Si 3.0 is not used on the X5.

Correct. Case in point: The Z4 and the X3. In Canada, there is a X3 3.0i and X3 3.0si.
