^LOL. I knew you didn't include the 3.0d but I thought that was done on purpose, since you listed 3.0sd.:rofl:

cause the 3.0d isn't sold here, it never crossed my mind. I think I may see more mention of sd on this board than d.

It's funny. I would expect to more "BMW enthusiasts" on this forum and that would lead me to expect to see more 4.8 models. That's interesting that there are more 3.0 models (so far). I didn't even consider the 3.0 model -- only alternative I considered to my 2008 4.8i was a late model 4.8is. Diesel was not a choice available to me...
