When am I supposed to get bored with the X5M?

gblansten · 04-13-2017, 06:01 PM

I picked this up March 3, 2017. It remains my favorite vehicle of all time. Aren't I supposed to get disappointed with this heavy SUV? I previously had a 14 M5, 11 M3, and 09 C63 AMG.

If you had told me a few years ago that I would love driving an SUV I would have told you that you were crazy.

Anyone else love their X5M/X6M?

My only fear is that BMW makes the next gen slower. These rides are perfect with a RaceChip.

I'm actually the opposite ... I love the X5M ... but I'm already bored and want something else. Had it since June last year

It just isn't as "special" as I felt it was when I first got it.

What are you going to get?

I love mine too. Great combination of power, luxury and utility.

I'm worried about the end of my lease. The next one won't be out yet.

My X5M is also my favorite car between those that I owned (X5 E70 - Range Rover TDV8 - Dodge Ram Laramie).

I have it for over two years , and close to 70 000 km.

What a pleasure to daily drive it

AwesomeM3 · 04-14-2017, 12:19 PM

I've had mine for 2 years and I still love it.

My favorite BMW of all the ones I've owned!

You will love it.

Thanks. Looking at a slightly used 2016 l. While this car is suppose to be "wife's" I plan on enjoying it a lot more.

Going on 2 years of never a boring moment of driving my X5M.

You can extend the lease.

Yes but probably not long enough to get me to the next X5M. Also a dubious financial proposition at that point.

Have you tried some "naughty" upgrades?

trust me, at around 22 PSI of boost and some extra mods, 700hp range you will start to orgasm
