Anyway, your anecdotal experience is not how the real world majority of used auto transactions take place. If it works for you, then great, however it might be a good idea to not perpetuate false info. The reality is that very few options gets you your money back proportionally on any car. Loaded cars are the worst in terms of relative resale. |

Sometimes an "exotic" option can even make your car worth less than another if it is an option that scares used buyers away because of a potentially costly repair. This is more so seen on lux brands. |

Agreed.
I didnt use night vision once in the few years I had it on my F01. B&O was freaking awesome in the F01, but I hard to justify the cost, and in my cause almost impossible to find in a gently used one. The way I see it, if I get 10 cents on the dollar for the upgrades, I am happy. Heck, these things would be so much pain to fix out of warranty, I wouldn't want them. |

Why are we talking about resale. OP asked what were the options he should look to get. The ones you can't live without. Not which ones will warrant him the most when he attempts to sell it again down the road.
And yes the B&O is amazing

Much appreciate your input everyone! I ended up buying a 14' 50i 1-owner (after 3 year lease) CPO with only 21k miles. Unfortunately it's not a M-Sport and no air suspension or anything, but it's fairly good equipped and I am happy!

Anywho...if you read the thread and have a grasp of conversation then you can see why resale is being discussed. If you have an issue with that then you might want to relax a bit and stay off the internet. |

But how will you ever enjoy your X5 without all of the silly M logos that come with the Msport? <- that's a joke...because you're going to blow by all of our 35i models. |

I'd love to poll the owners on this forum, and see how many folks have had issues with components we all share vs. desirable components, such as B&O, Night Vision, Active Cruise Control, Nappa package, DHP, etc. |

But man, those M Sports sure do look good, right? I'd argue it's probably THE most desired option when folks are shopping for an X5.

Eventually when they take a peek in the random photo thread, they start to see and understand the differences especially when they see cars like mine with the front carbon fiber splitter installed and how beautiful the Msport F15 really are. I'm willing to bet that my X5 has caused a lot of buyers remorse in this community

Lol just breath man. Just wanted to stay on topic for the OP sake.
Anywho glad you picked one up man! What options did you go for?! And no worries about the M line as You can always add the full package for a few grand. Most options are not that easy to add if not impossible. As long as it makes you happy while you own it then that's what matters.

I did an M Track Day yesterday, and drove several Ms on the COTA track with the M Performance alcantara steering wheel. You won't want that M steering wheel anymore, trust me!
