> [@1QIKZ](#): > > Neither sissyboy. Like what you have now. Believe me I like it better too but the car is just becoming a pain to maintain. Looking for something more reliable and with a warranty. I drive my E55 year round and I just think a SUV is more practical right now. Dont worry im sure youll still be looking at my tail lights no matter what I end up doing lol. Boardjnky i was able to find one for about 66k thats only 20 miles from when Im living now. And im hoping to get a little back if they take my car on a trade-in. 2010s are ranging from 60-75k it seems depending on mileage. Ive driven several MLs over the years and have to admit I love the way they drive, Ive also driven an X5 for a few months this past year and absolutley hated it… Hopefully the X5M will change my mind. ---

So I test drove the X5M today and I have to admit it changed my opinion on BMWs. Drove it pretty hard didnt want to take it too far with the salesman in the car with me but it was definitely fun to drive. So much fun decided to put a deposit on it hopefully Ill have it by mid next week. ![http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n494/Jimshorts868/e2005f12.jpg](http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n494/Jimshorts868/e2005f12.jpg) ![http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n494/Jimshorts868/a26503d3.jpg](http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n494/Jimshorts868/a26503d3.jpg) ![http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n494/Jimshorts868/d7f88d57.jpg](http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n494/Jimshorts868/d7f88d57.jpg) ---

I have driven a Cayenne and something fun about a quick truck. Enjoy the worry free warranty experience just make sure the mods are reversible. ---
