My 1st post, and my 1st X5. Decided I wanted a diesel for the 220 mile commute versus using my Tahoe 4x4 at 17mpg on a good day. Found two lightly-optioned 35d's at the local dealer left over from 2015 model year. Liked one enough to buy it and hoping for a long-term ownership. Sticker was $64,100. Traded in my 2007 Honda Pilot AWD that was promptly sent to auction. Price of the X5 after the reduction for being last year's model and my 9 year old trade-in was $47,700, or a few thousand dollars more than what my Pilot cost me 9 years ago. The amount I started from when having the Honda appraised was a marked-down sticker of $57,700, or $6,400 off the sticker due to being a 2015. They showed another $10,000 off that $57,700 sticker as my trade in value. Ended up financing $47,700. Since this was about $10,000 under Kelley Blue Book, I felt good enough about it to buy it. Feel free to tell me how bad I did 
List of the light Options on the X-5:
Space Gray Metallic
Dakota Leather
Luxury Seating Package
Rear view Camera
3rd row seat & rear axle suspension
This is my second BMW. My 1st was a 530 in 2002 that was leased for 3 years. Due to the miles I now drive daily, I was not interested in another lease. So far, have owned this X5 since April 30, it has about 3k perfect miles on it and gets 32mpg if left on cruise at 75mph in Comfort mode. In sport mode around town it gets 24mpg. Much better than the 14 city/17 highway that the Tahoe gets. My only complaint is that it didn't have Blind Spot Alert, which the Tahoe LTZ does have, and will make you lazy. Wonderful machine! |
Welcome to the group. You'll really enjoy your commute now!
