I have never regretted getting the 4.8i with sports package. I really like the ride and the handling.
The seating is pretty firm but I don't really think that it affects the ride that much though. Some people, including my wife, said they prefer the premium package seats. When I bought mine, it was possible to get sports package and add the premium seats but the price differentail to do that was ridiculous so not sure if you'll find many of those. |
Haha. My boyfriend and I have been trying to figure out why my trucks seats are so firm. Every time we road trip we arrive with slumped sore backs. At least I know it's not just us. But my truck didn't come with heated seat option and sometimes they are burning hot. Do you have this problem too?? |
Funny you say that about the hot seats. I ALWAYS sweat in the X5 (both my old 4.8 w sport seats and new 50i w Nappa comfort seats). I constantly look to see if the seat warmers are mistakenly on.
As for harsh suspension on the 4.8. I thought it was a bit rough when I had it. Now I have a 50i with standard suspension and couldn't be more disappointed. It is terribly soft and sloppy. Feels like I'm driving a Buick Roadmaster with hot seats.
