In Reply to: Help: X5 4.6 available - should I buy it (m) posted by NW on April 14, 2002 at 23:32:57:

I picked up my 4.6 2 weeks ago, and have about 2000 miles on it already. Before, I had a '96 M3.

The 4.6 accelerates and handles like my old M3, except it's much quieter. It is a tight ride, and thankfully I'm already used to a tight suspension and feeling bumps.

However, the handling is truly superior to almost all sport sedans, and I took a 4.6 offroad at Spartanburg where I saw it's still quite capable of 22-inch water crossings, 45 degree sideways inclines, and driving over rocky trails.

I enjoy the exclusivity, but honestly very few people know the difference.

I don't think you'd regret the decision to get the 4.6, if you're into the X5 to begin with.
