What would you buy 2008 3.0si or 4.8i

I'm looking into getting a pre-owed X5, I have found to two locally that I like. One is a 4.8 with 51,000 miles fully loaded with everything except for 3 row seating and rear seat entertainment price $31,000. The other is a 3.0si with 21,000 miles premium package, 3rd Row Seat, and Rear Climate Package price $33,000.

The question which do you guy believe to be the better value. The 4.8 with all the options that I would love to have vs the 3.0 with very low miles. Both trucks are out of warranty so I would have to get a extended warranty.

I leaning towards the 4.8 for the simple fact that it does not have the 3rd row seat and I can carry a spare tire under the floor. I not sold on the idea of run flats only tires. But 21,000 miles and clean car fax does sound good.

Opinion needed thanks.

It's your car, you have to decide what's important.
Both are great vehicles. I bought the 4.8 because I tow a track car and also like the added HP and TQ. Gas mileage pretty much sucks... 13+ city 17+ hwy, but I knew that going in.

3.0si because of the lower mileage, but I'd choose the 4.8 because of the extra power.
