Hi,
Wondered if anyone has had a 4.4 V8 X5??

Would like some feedback on what you thought of them?
Are they really bad on fuel? (used to a 450 bhp S4)
Are there any points to watch out for??

Any info or advice would be good

harsh but fair

They are ok... but heavy on fuel - like 10-20mpg depends how you drive.

Dull cars though.

Ive driven all the different models of X5 and i bloody love them. I nearly bought one a couple of years ago but decided against it, mainly due to the depreciation on them. If id have bought that 2.5 years ago for £25k, it would have been worth about half that now, so im glad i didnt now.

Still, excellent cars imo and now you can get a decent one cheap enough and obviously the depreciation has slowed down on the older ones now.

By the way, id go for the 3.0d Sport with the auto box out of the lot of them. Maybe get it re-mapped if you want a bit more power.
