Hey you - thanks for the insights. I had no idea about the differences being so big. I'm going to take my time but it seems clear that it is going to make sense to get out of my 4.8is. I love it but the costs outside of the extended warranty are a pain in the ass.

And beware of the brake squeal on the new X5/X6 Ms. It's makes my ears bleed. A lot of owners have wheel bearing issues that haven't been resolved. So far, 8000 miles, I have the brake squeal but no bearing issues.

Make sure you test drive first.

Good luck.
