I have no idea how that's an improvement over the significantly newer x5 already in your possession.

It has 100 additional HP!

I had water in the front passenger footwell last night - looks like the front sunroof drain is clogged. Hopefully getting fixed tomorrow.

I need to find a new car.

No. I drive it a handful of times per year. Generally put on 200-500 miles each year. We live in the city, so I technically don't daily drive anything. X5 gets family duty on the weekends. We take the M3 on the weekends when we can during the summer, but not for long trips.

There are terrific deals on late model (2013) x5's out there - Josh got a good one.

Indeed it is. No interest in owning it out of warranty. CPO ends in June.

You can simply buy an extended warranty on the car you have, or buy someone else's X5 with a CPO.

Or save your pennies for awhile then buy a new gen X5 for a lot more $.

You robbed me of "the practical voice", so I've had to go rogue ... :0
