I've decided on the BMW X5, but which one? (archive)

I've decided on the BMW X5, but which one? Well I test drove a 4.4i and loved it. I need help deciding. I came onto this website for unbiased true owner decision. The salesman wouldn't let me drive it by myself and I couldn't get a true feel for the car. I loved the 4.4i's acceleration, luxary, and the superb sports package, but hated the gas milege and the high price. I could afford it, but whew $57,800 is a lot for a mid-size SUV. Oh sorry I mean SAV! So I asked about a 3.0i, but they didn't have any in stock. I want to know, how much performance, luxary, and build quaility am I losing out of if I decide to go with the 3.0i? Am I getting a expensive alternative for a Explorer or am I getting a great BMW? I hear about the stories about averaging 90mph on the highway, we'll I get that performance on the 3.0i? Should I just opt for the 4.4i instead? Please help me?!?!? I might not get back on this board so, if you have some helpful thoughts please email them to me.....Thank you..........tommy_yi@msn.com
