Wow that has almost everything. Great car, but that's a lot of $ for 2014 technology.

True. And the smaller engine...

Oh! Didn't realize that. I imagine it would feel quite slow compared to your old 50i.

A lot of options that don’t add much on resale unfortunately. I’d also wonder what the corporate use of that car was with such low mileage.

Is the I6 enough motivation to move that pig with any alacrity?

Yes, surprisingly well. Coming from the e61 to the x5 is a minor drop in acceleration, but work it a bit you can out accelerate most of the cars in a merge lane. It will also sit happily at 90mph and cruise for 200 miles without breaking a sweat. It doesn't do it effortlessly like the V8 would (think an extra gear kick down on hard acceleration), but it does do it.

I guess it depends on what you’re coming from and to some extent it’s all relative to what your baseline is. A 6-cyl X5 isn’t that bad, but for me it felt bit strained. After having a few 335s, I felt like the turbo I6 got a little strained on a 5er and even more so on X5 given how much additional weight it’s carrying around. That being said, the V8 is overkill. I love our X5 M50 but it doesn’t need this much power. I’d probably be happy with something in the middle.

Indeed. And we had the 3.0 X5...

The 19” or smaller wheels have always looked to small on the F15.
