I recently purchased a 2006 X5 3.0 Auto-trans and after driving it and getting a feel for the engine I noticed that it doesnt seem as smooth and fluid as other Bimmer Inline sixes, and I also got the same impression a couple of years ago after test driving an 2004 330i (E46)Auto-trans as well. Does the 04 330i(E46)share the same 3.0 liter as the 06 X5? My opinion is based on my previous ownership of an 2000 E46 328i. Is this a common quality among these 3.0 engines vs others, Is it possible that the X5 is programmed, tuned geared or bored a little differently than other six cylinders.
Anyone have any opinion, experience, or knowledge on this.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
