I have a 2009 4.8 and have to say that it is quite fun to drive. Lots of pickup and handles well for a heavy truck.

There were a few things that were fixed on it. There was a recall for a gas gauge problem, where the needle wouldn't go up to the "1" (full) level. There are two sensors in the gas tank that need to be replaced. Once that was done it was fine. This is a common problem because the previous X5 I had also had the same issue (same model year, but was a 3.0 so that doesn't make any difference).
The speaker/amplifier somehow blew out and those had to be replaced. Otherwise, the truck is running great.

However, be prepared to fill it up frequently as it is a thirsty truck. Average MPG is only about 14mpg mix city and hwy. I did drive it 700 miles to the Canadian border and back, and averaged 22mpg all highway doing between 65-75mph.

Is it a CPO vehicle or there is no warranty on it anymore?
