In fact it is close to $100K MSRP, placing it in X5M territory and the original owner would have probably done better going with an X5M.

But given that most new X5’s are bought on lease, I suppose real resale value isn’t as important as residual value.
The Range Rover Sport is a reliability nightmare. Lol. The mystic of thinking a RR is great because it is an LR is pure insanity.

For the record, comparing a 2017 X5 50i XDrive M-sport still books out at close to $14,000 less than an X5M with the same mileage and equipment.

It is the rarity of the X5M that drives its ability to hold its value.
