Been wanting an X5 for a long time. Just bought a CPO '15 35i M-Sport. Waiting patiently for it to be hauled down to me. Got the car for $41k CPO, 2015 with 43k miles. Carbon Black, Dakota Black interior. Although the third row is tight, it's what made me jump on this one (need to haul 4 kids on occasion).

Smart choice, I regret not going with 3rd row and retrofit of 3rd row costs more than a car itself

HK is overrated anyway, so if you go with BAVSound - you are in for a good start! DHP is a killer in x5, but it somewhat will be remediated with Eibach springs (it still won't be as good, but at least it will be halfway there). However, DHP is almost impossible to find in CPO cars, so there are 99% of us here who still regret not getting it

Anyone else in the Nashville area?

Imagine yourself 1 year later, what advise you will give yourself if you were looking at this post? I bet you will say I wish I went with 21 instead of 20
Learn on my costly mistakes and if you are like some of us who thinks wheels make or brake car appearance - don't skip on size, trust me even 21s often look not enough in those huge x5 arches (but with Eibach lowering they will fit just perfect)
