I can understand the OP here.
I have the X7 with V8... and the X5 with B58.
Sometimes I just feel the X5 with B58 is better when I'm heading to work early in the morning, or just want a quite late afternoon drive. The V8 in the X7 is designed to be a bit too loud for all kind of modes.
Having said that, if I had one SUV only, I would still go with V8. But there are certainly times where I feel I'd rather take our X5 with the B58 than the X7 with V8 to avoid headache and overly loud drive.
Also for road trips, the B8 is such a smooth quite engine and I did not appreciate it until I had one with B58. Maybe my experience is not relevant because the X5 by nature is more concise and quite anyway yet with B58 it makes it so much pleasure and quite compared to our X7 with the V8.
