The choices for buyers are much wider now.

of course, I understand depreciation due to the new models, however, it is generally less substantial to the higher-end trim, and more rare, models of the car (i.e. M3, M5, etc.), which should be the case with the 4.8is trim of the e53. Regardless, I was comparing my car and pricing to that of other E53, not comparing the values to its newer replacement counterparts. If I didnt already personally own an X5M in my collection, I would absolutely have a 4.8is. Even jsut as an objective buyer, the 4.8is in general is a hell of a deal and a very capable machine at $10K, let alone $6k.
