How long do you plan to keep your*X5/X6

fbuzila · 10-14-2018, 09:54 PM

I decided to payoff my X5 F15 and I'm curious how long you guys plan to keep your F15/16?

redline9001 · 10-14-2018, 09:55 PM

Till the tires fall off

kanvas · 10-14-2018, 09:56 PM

4 years so far... another 4 or 6. The Panamera Turbo S will have taken quite the depreciation hit by then

diesel733 · 10-14-2018, 10:01 PM

End of lease. Business expense.

turboawd · 10-15-2018, 01:06 AM

I could see myself driving this for a long while. I love it.

I agree. Really enjoy the F15. Usually, I trade-in around the 3rd year of ownership, but could definitely see holding onto the X5 longer.

When it's not longer worthwhile to fix it.

Forever or until they improve the X5 enough. The G05 has nice updates but not enough to get me out of the F15. Especially since the rear looks like a poor amalgam of mercedes/acura/lexus/kia and the front grills are too big.

JWK170 · 10-15-2018, 08:38 AM

I just added most of the mods I wanted to make it my own liking after 2 months of ownership. I am going to run this thing into the ground before I think about getting rid of it. I will never get back the money I put into it already and money I still plan to put into it for a few last mods so might as well keep it until the maintenance for it just doesn't make sense.

spike5150 · 10-15-2018, 09:52 AM

Until the M50i comes out, and possibly until the next X5M comes out. Hopefully that is mid next year for both.

MOTOP · 10-15-2018, 11:40 AM

i'd like to see what BMW does for X6 next year. If they follow Lexus RX (slogan: "Uglier with every birthday") - i'll be keeping mine until the end of days

What he said.

Twin Peaks · 10-15-2018, 12:15 PM

6 months before my overpriced extended warranty expires.

tkelley86 · 10-15-2018, 01:21 PM

2 years in, probably 1-2 more, I'm drooling over a W222 S550 with rear seat executive package...

puckybadger · 10-15-2018, 01:26 PM

10 years or 200K miles, whichever comes first

fbuzila · 10-15-2018, 02:06 PM

all these replies make me feel awesome I decided to keep the car

bagekko · 10-15-2018, 03:34 PM

Until year 2 of the X7 comes out

Do you plan on having a chauffeur?

Wavy · 10-16-2018, 12:09 PM

Only 10 months in and I'm already thinking about trading in my F16. I have a hard time keeping cars more than 2 years.

Been looking at the S450 and LS500.

Don't forget to pick me up!

To answer OP's post; I plan to drive it till she's on her last breath.

MizikeTSK · 10-16-2018, 02:29 PM

Just like Alphaod, until it becomes a money pit. This is my first BMW as a daily (not really as I alternate with my truck) but my wife is a Beemer head and she currently owns a F30 MSport, E90 Msport before that and a E46 sport Vert(beater that just sits in front of the house). I was pretty impressed with the F15 (35i) loaner we got last year and mentioned to my wife that I could see myself driving one but had to be MSport, since the F85 was out of my range. Test drove the M50i 8 months ago and it was a done deal!
