how much HP is that thing? is it NA or FI?

 

to answer your question it's the 4.8L V8 NA putting down 350hp 350 ft lbs/trq





wow amazing x5. You have a ton of different products. very nice collection. So you finished off with a green pad and power finish? You didn't do a final polish like 106F, 85RD or a glaze of some sort to add more gloss =)

 

4.85i 350 hp/350 lbs/trq

I'll admit I was running low on time, and wanted the car ready for a wedding I was going to...Paint came out glossy, although I've spent a lot of hours correcting it...

 

Lookin good Supercharged

 

Great Job!! Love the Deutschland plate on the front! :mounty:

 

Nice car man! i love the new 4.8i's!! The X5M's look sick as well!

 

nice job man! how many hrs did you put into that beast?

 

Nice job! Really sweet whip! Went with the 4.8 and the big wheels, you're the man!

 

Looks great, sir. Love that new x5.

 

Beautiful job Sergie! Congrats on the new ride.

 

Beautiful ride man. I love X5's.

 

Very sharp vehicle! Great work!!!

 

Fail for no sun pics! You need to provide some sun pics!! lol!!!

From the pics provided though it looks great man, congrats on a sweet ass ride for yourself.

 

thanks, Ken!

thanks, and so do I.

thanks! I only wanted 4.8i and those are rare.

thanks. I spent about 30 hours on it total...

thanks. out of the only 2 4.8i that I found I liked this one better, the other one was dark blue with tan interior and 19" wheels, I went for 20"...and my wife liked this one better...

thank you, and so do I.

thanks, Luis...this is my first SUV, I only owned cars, and wanted and SUV that doesn't lean in corners...having a sport package on this it makes it even better, it eliminates the body roll...

thanks, and so do I.

thank you.

Thanks...I actually forgot all about sun pics...after I test drove it, I just couldn't say NO...I didn't even test drive Audi Q7 or Mercedes ML/GL...

 

Very nice X5! My family loves ours also. They are great driving SUV's.
