Not a massive difference in everyday driving, the double vanos will have more low down torque. The biggest difference between the 2.8 and 3.0 is the body shape the 2.8s were wide bums and the 3.0 were facelift (or but lift bums) if you prefer one shape over the other then this may help sway your preference.
That's great thanks. I am about to make my decision any day now as have been reorganising the garage to make room.
Thanks. Nice motor
Have you narrowed your choice ?
Not yet but I would have 1999 on 2.8 or a 3.0 depends on ticking all my boxes ( if poss )
They all look the same from the front its in the rear it all changes.....

The 3.0 will cost you a lot more to buy than the 2.8. After the M they are the most sought after. All round the 3.0 is the car to go for. We had one before our Z4 and they are very quick.
I was looking for this pic, could I remember where it was
Thanks
