If I remember my research right, there was a pretty catastrophic issue (edit: I started reading the comments section - its a head bolt failure)with the 2005-2008 6.3 engines. I stopped searching after my wife crushed my dreams of swapping the x5 now.

I LOVE Techno Violet. Mulberry is nice too, but I'd have to lose the luxury package.

what's the big deal re: Lux? It's not as "sporty" cosmetically, but didn't change anything driving wise. I guess you could argue the loss of Vaders, but nothing in the package reeks of a real issue.

Yeah it is all looks wise. Sedan doesn't come with Vaders so one less con of it on the sedan. Seems like a good chunk of sedans were optioned with the lux package

Nice Rx-8 minus the graphics.
