GT, there is another option ... feet.
But do tell me, when is the onset of the "twilight years?" Maybe I am there now.

I've got the 4.4L engine in my X5 and I think it's wonderful and very torquey, I doubt you would tell much difference vs the 4.8L ............. I drive X5 much harder than my 550 and I think it's great , don't sweat it !!
Try out the 4,8 and then comment again in this thread....
[sarcasm]I'm sure they only made the 4.8 for a cooler sound[/sarcasm]
