Sold my X5 replaced it with a sensible ford edge. I got tired of the constantly failed small stuff (big dollars) and errant codes. The edge is no x5 but it is quite nice for what I need it for. I'm hoping it will be more reliable.
If I get another BMW it will be recent convertible. But then there are so many nice cars out there.
It was fun while it lasted... al-feet-er-zane!
