7-8 years newer is the primary reason. As the E70 ages more people will be coming to xo solve their issues. There are things I definitely prefer on my 01 e53s like the purely mechanical always on transfer case. I work on an e90 with a similar TC to the E70 and I don't like the constant shifting of front axle power application. Not to mention a $400 motor to engage the thing. But I can't really imagine switching cars, the X5 picked me I have no interest in a different car really, so my next car will certainly be e70. I had thought I'd have one more e53 namely an 06 as a stepping stone but the 01s keep on trucking and if I can resolve the worn out cats in a cost effective manner I can see holdit onto the 01s for 2-4 more years.
