Ive had a 4.6 V8 X5 for just under a year now and touch wood its been great, the only 2 probs ive got/had with mine is the tyre pressure sensor are faulty since i had the tyres replaced and the heater fan fluctuates up and down occansionaly.

Other than that its been good!

look for a cheap petrol station as you will be spending a lot of time there!!!!!

my brother has the 4.4 v8 and he is lucky to get 15mpg!!!!

stunning car though, very powerful and handles well for a its size!
