or you can take over my lease in January/February(when I will get my M5) and buy the car at the end (lease return is on 11/2019)
I have only 12k miles now and I doubt I will go over 20-25k. The Residual Value is $63,015.30 and monthly payment of $1,455.96 +Tax.
Miles Allowed at Turn In 45,069
MSRP $116,695
I also purchased the 2 years maintenance last week...and that's transferable!

We have no kids... Only adults will be in the back when we have family members or neighbors going out to dinner.

I've been searching intently every day and I guess my budget doesn't suite my needs because all the X5m's I'm finding nationwide have warranties ending soon. Then the extended warranties are pricey. I've been quoted $3,995 for the BMW 1yr/unlimited miles or $5,995 for the BMW 2yr/unlimited miles.

Of course quotes are based on MY and mileage and this one was a 2015 with 49k miles.

I've located a GREAT deal on the RR which is CPO 6yr/100k and has everything I could want but it's slower than the X5M.

Let us know what you find OP.

Ugh.....we just got rid of a '15 RRS Supercharged with transferable CPO that would have fit your budget

Out of the options below, can you list them in order of important and which ones are completely not needed.

1. Self parking system
2. Rear seat entertainment system
3. B&O audio system
4. Infrared night-vision camera

my personal opinion:

1. B&O audio system - great sound but most peoaple are claiming is not big difference from HK

2. Self parking system - cool but personally I never use it; probably in Europe or big cities like New York is used

3. Rear seat entertainment system - I have 2 boys, 3 and 5, nothing can replace their Fire Kid edition tablets

4. Infrared night-vision camera - really?! I usually sleep during the night time ...but I guess has a cool factor

I have 1.0 and have never used it. 2,3,4.....not for me.

Can someone explain the difference between the Black Extended Merino Leather and the Black Full Merino Leather.

You get more leather on surfaces that really don't matter.
-Interior doors under the trim that is above the arm rest
-Interior doors lower portion under arm rest
-Center console inside knee rest and upper trim
-Lower portion of front dash

Aragon brown and Mugello Red only comes in full if I'm not mistaken. Only colors where there is a choice are Black, Silverstone and Beige.

in my opinion full leather is worth all the expense; I don't like to see any plastic on such expensive car

1. Love B&O
2. I enjoy it even though it's used rarely - you are right, I am in NY
3. Don't get it - ipads do a much better work and are cheaper and more versatile
4. Haven't used it.

Get the X6M. Looks more aggressive. I barely see any X6's here but see many X5's.

Just concerned about the headspace in the back.

I'm 5'10 and the head space in the back is great. But, the real question is, does your wife really need a M? My X6 35i is more than enough power. You could also just tune it if your not happy with it.

I'll come to the defense of the ladies on the forum. Does anyone really need an M? It shouldn't be does his wife really need an M. I wouldn't stop my wife if she 'needed' an M and we can afford it.
