As you point out price is also a consideration, especially if you're looking at the 4.8i instead of the base engine. One point you did not touch on is the sound systems - which do you think sounds better and which is more convenient to work with?

Did you consider the diesel engine? That's the X5 I'd get

Replying to: sloperb (Jun 05, 2009 7:22 am) Great write up, sloperb. No smoke coming from our center stack (was it smoke or steam?). Our '07 sport/ent has been fairly bulletproof like our '04 MDX, not real pleased with getting 25k miles out of the OEM Michelins but the Mich's in "sport" mode was a blast, much like the handling on my '05 TL.
