Happy Birthday to me!

This morning I put a deposit down on an '04 4.8is. I have driven an '04 3.0 for the past 7 years and ~98K miles. I started out with it out of pure necessity with the arrival of a new baby. Now, I love the thing. The only thing I wish it had was more power- and maybe a few less miles. Oh, and if only it were LeMans Blue.

Syoo.. I will post more later, but this is what I put a deposit on this AM. Please feel free to offer advice on what to expect out of the 4.8 in care and maintenance. The 3.0 has been rock solid.

Nice! I'm really feeling that color

U ganna fall in love with it I get 04 4.8is with 59k It's my baby
The only Problem I have to go through it so far its the air suspension(1600$)
not bad,other then that it been so good to me let me put it this way:
pros
(My opinion)u don't need add anything to the look u get the body kit+20 inch rims+big exhaust system it makes it sound like a muscle car ,it comes hookup from BMW factory.
Fast, super tied handling it's ganna Amazon u every time, the way it handle trust me.

cones:
It sucks on gas, the way I drive it give me 12-14 mils in gal.
U have to change the tires in winter,or have anther sit of rims and tires for the snow .
beside that I love this truck
I hope I was helpful and good luck

Oh this makes me want to wash mine and get proper detail (must finish M5 stuff first......) Congratulations!

I don't mind the question at all. I wont necessarily answer it, but I don't mind it. Mine was slightly more than that. This was the lowest miles I have seen in years of searching for a 4.8. It was also the oldest production at July, 2004.
