My impression is that the 2nd gen (at least earlier vintages) had a myriad of computer and mechanical issues that could go wrong, and I have always viewed the e53 as a “safe” bet relatively. Personally I won’t have an E70 in my garage without an aftermarket warranty, and would opt for a LCI version (2010), which pushes up the starting price quite a bit. Then you also have the X5M badge to consider.
It will be interesting to see if the 4.8is revives in value like the e39 M5, but from an enthusiast perspective I doubt there will be many low mileage well maintained models as the years go on, which will of course drive up the price to the right buyer. Someone needs to seed a few good auto blog posts to get the ball rolling [emoji4]
