I think the V8 in my old 4.8 X5 has been pretty much my favourite engine that I have experienced...I have a soft spot for American V8`s though and I think that engine has come the closest in feel to one.

Just registered its a 4.8is Violet - best engine ever!  I love mine even though its had so many SLS issues,  I kept up the BMW warranty so its been fairly painless money wise despite the ££££££££ of repairs !
X5 2005 Le Mans Blue 4.8is
Fully loaded but Now semi-retired! 

X5 2012 Alpine White 40d MSport 21" style 215 black alloys, rear entertainment, media package, comfort seats and a load of other options.
