I've always been a fan of the Imola Red version and saw a sharp one earlier today... How do you like the 4.6 / 4.8? Do you think it is too dated? How does it compare to the Cayenne?

Yes, the looks might be a bit outdated but is still one of the best looking one out there... and for the price is a great deal vs CTT. Are you in the market for one?

I had to dump it after the wife got into an accident though.

It's a sports sedan in camo. I have test driven several CTT's, tried to like them but other than the power not much there for me. Very heavy, way overboosted steering, disconnected road feel compared to the X5. I have a '04 4.4 and I love it. The 4.8 is a big upgrade from the 4.6, that's the one to have.

My Friend has a 2003 X5 4.6is and has put 77,000km's on it since March 2003 and still loves it and its his only car, he is waiting for the newer 2nd gen X5 that is not very far from production Reply MeanMachine View Public Profile Find all posts by MeanMachine Jul 11, 2006 | 09:08 PM Share Share Options #9 Fkim011 Registered User Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 1,531 From: Southern California Rep Power: 98 we have a x5 4.8 with about 70,000 miles on the clock...it still runs like the day we took her off the showroom floor Reply Fkim011 View Public Profile Find all posts by Fkim011 Jul 12, 2006 | 10:50 AM Share Share Options #10 Benjamin Choi Banned Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,103 From: Kirkland, WA Rep Power: 145 like jay-z said, let the wifey drive the x5 i'd rather have the supercharged rover Reply Benjamin Choi View Public Profile Find all posts by Benjamin Choi Jul 13, 2006 | 11:55 AM Share Share Options #11 Griza Registered User Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 1,362 From: Miami Beach, FL Rep Power: 84 I have an Imola Red '03 4.6iS and I love it. If I were in the market now for a sport ute, I would choose the CTT though. The 4.6 handles great and has good power but the interior is dated and the style is a little also. I have 49,500 miles and it has really been rock solid. Although lately a few things have gone wrong, but that is what warranty is for. I actually just bought the extended warranty and maintenance warranty just in case something else goes wrong. Either the 4.6 or 4.8 are solid choices if the price and condition are right.

Its a very fast and great handling car but without sacrificing comfort like the cayenne turbo. I felt a little hesistant getting mine 10 months ago because of the news of the new X5 but honestly I am happy with the old style and the 4.8 still has better perfomance than the new ones. Now they are probably going for cheaper so I'd say go for it Reply F11 View Public Profile Find all posts by F11 Nov 30, 2006 | 03:17 AM Share Share Options #15 Mike S Registered User Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 616 From: Singapore Rep Power: 45 With me it was the oppisite. Having owned the 4.4 and 4.8iS before. In comparison with the Touareg V10 and Cayenne TT and ML63 the X5 4.8iS is a POS IMO. Mine was a 2004 model and it's steering was the heaviest out of all the SUV's. The power wasn't that great either, plus I thought the tranny sucked as well, doesn't shift at the right RPMS etc. Although I must say the brakes in the 4.8iS are superb. Anyway, that's the experience I have with the car. Just my personal opinion. F11: The Cayenne Turbo is 10x more comfortable than the X5... Last edited by Mike S; Nov 30, 2006 at 03:34 AM.
