I bought a 2001 X5 new and drove it to 90K miles before I sold it in 2007. It was trouble-free and everything BMW said it would be. It had the 3.0 I-6 and I really wanted something faster; otherwise I might still have it now. Excellent vehicle!

the biggest thing about an SUV vs a sedan or non-truck is that the physical appearance is just a different preference altogether. so, if you're okay with the aesthetics, then who cares? IMO i hate SUVs and think they look really silly, and for all intensive purposes, are rarely useful. if it were me, i would want a truck that had a bed in it plus the towing capabilities over an SUV. i just really don't get the SUV. i also hate the E61 wagon though, or any wagon. again, all aesthetic preferences. the new M X's are probably the stupidest thing BMW ever did in terms of continuing their renown reputation, but i imagine they will sell well only because there is a market for the soccer mom who will never WOT her car, but likes knowing she got the most expensive SUV around. in your case, i think your reasoning is a bit more solid on the same vehicle. i still hate the aesthetics, though ![Wink](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/wink.gif)

Wow... You are all over the place with your reply man. By the way, it's all "intents and purposes" not "intensive purposes."
