Hey,

I feel like you and I have the same condition. It's called "I love BMW-itis" with symptoms of "I am afraid of the costly maintenance-psychosis"

I keep thinking about the pros and cons of buying a BMW again and I actually went back and read a few posts on the E70 BMW forum to remind me of what I am considering.

You can see the posts here:

Or the most eye-opening one here:

I replied later on page 2, but I am still thinking about this vehicle since it is a pleasure to drive. This is why I was so concerned about warranties and maintenance......which is another gamble with cars!

If you need to chat and have a meeting to start a support club I can make myself available for that........but I suggest you Don't buy a BMW X5 over 100K miles unless you have a shop to work on the car or a reliable way to keep down the cost.

Nothing breaks my heart more that seeing others who can afford anything that breaks on the car but don't have half the passion that other enthusiasts do. But I don't hate them......because if they didn't trade in their cars, I could never afford a BMW.

Best of luck dude,

Adrian

P.S. Here is the one I want to buy:
