I have to wonder if you ever experienced any of the four V8s that were in excellent running order, or even the 6 spd manual M54 E53: - M54 w/5spd auto
- M54 w/5spd manual
- M54 w/6spd manual
- M62TUb44 w/5spd auto
- M62b46 w/5spd auto
- N62b44 w/6spd auto
- N62b48 w/6spd auto

The one I drove was the 4.8, automatic, I believe it was MY2008. It was a bit more nimble than my E70 (5.0), but noticeably less powerful. I only drove it for a couple of miles, so not really enough to form a proper opinion, but the E70 is easily my all time favorite BMW SUV. |
E53 ends in 2006.
