Just chopped in my 2006 E46 M3 ... I was planning on a E90 M3, but stumbled across a 2008 4.8i. Glad I made the decision to go for it. Such a great engine, just wafts along. Look forward to participating in the forum. Cheers

Congrats on your new X5 looks good and as you say the 4.8 engine is nice and not many petrol X5 about.

Thanks.. yes it's a great engine. I've done 230 miles and still have 1/4 tank left. 90 miles reports the OBC. If I can get 300 miles I'm happy with that. Only got just over 200 from the M3

Actually thats not bad, how much was a tank of petrol out of interest?? Intrigued to see difference compared to a tank of diesel cost wise.

Get some more pics up in the 'Gallery' section, also of the M3 - had an E46 myself!!!
