Since OP didn't say he was financing or buying out right that's my overall opinion

If reliability is such a high priority for you, perhaps you should buy Japanese. I find it funny people bring up this V8 issue like they can already see it happening lol. It's a German car, I6 and V8 what not.
As for OP, you can afford it by all mean go for X5m. 50i is plenty fast for me as a family hauler and I prefer something light and agile like the M3 for fun. |
I do own a 35i
