Thanks everyone, I also posted in the e70 section. Since I'm here, my thinking for this outdated model was that all the kinks were worked out on the e70. Do I really want to buy a first year F15? Well here it is, still on the fence, http://exotic-motors.ebizautos.mobi/...-15428796.html

I just looked up how much the dealer paid for it at the auction on 8/24, and based on that information, I can tell you the asking price is very fair. Good luck.

the buying last model run having all the kinks out was in turn the worst BMW owned. A F15 14, would probably be the same reliability wise as the 13. Its really a freshen similar chassis. Is the air bag fixed. They couldn't sell my trade till fixed the air bag. LOL That is the least of the problems someone will get |

Update: we passed on this X5.
1) the car smelled like vomit. I thought it was the leather seats but my wife said it can't be the leather seats. 2) lift gate wasn't working and they are taking it to BMW to get it fixed. Really, you don't check that out and have it fixed before offering it up for sale? and 3) wife does not like oyster seats with black carpets and black trim on the outside. Oh well. Thanks everyone. The hunt continues. |

Did you also see it didn't have navigation? That would have been an immediate deal breaker for me. |

No navigation, but backup warning indicator. Don't really need navigation, use my iPhone for that. Besides, never liked anyone's built-in navigation. There is always an issue with it.

If you're going to be paying $30,000 plus for an X5, it better come with some nice creature comforts. The one you were looking at was a very basic X5. |

Weirdly a lot of my friends say my car is fully loaded, but I see lots of missing options: headlight washers, ventilated seats, steering wheel paddle shifters, active cruise control, night vision, DHP. I mean they see my comfort seats, LED headlights, V8 motor and that's bling bling very loaded to them.
