3.0 power

I am going to order an 08/09 X5 this August and am wondering does the 3.0 engine accelerates in about the same manner as my 07 328xi? A little under powered? Do you think it's better to order a base 4.8 vs the 3.0 w/sports package & leather? I know most people like to load up their x5s but I really like the car itself. I am looking to spend around $50-$53k on it. Thanks for all your help.

Do you need the 3rd row? If not consider an X6 for $52k. Much more horsepower, better handling and adaptive drive.

+1 on the X6. The xDrive35i is a very nice engine.

If you do need/prefer a X5 instead. I'd strongly recommend the 4.8 w/sports package over the 3.0 sports. The difference is power is very noticeable, while the fuel economy is really not that different.

I'd recommend the sports on both 3.0 and 4.8. Makes a big difference in handling.
