The 4.4 is being replaced by a 4.8

And the 4.8is, does not have an equivalent.

Although the new 4.8 is only 5hp less than the current 4.8is, 4.8 is still a full second slower than its 4.8is older brother. The 4.8is still the king of the X5's until its equivalent comes out, probably in a year or two. Just like the new "e9x" M3 hasn't come out, same with the 4.8is.

So the order still consist of

3.0si
4.8
4.8is

Dealer didn't mention if they were going to continue making the 4.8is though until its equivalent comes out.


And yes. Im a proud 4.8is owner.
