I do think they are going to go up (not like the M cars for sure) but the fewer people keep them original, the more an original car will go up. That's my take anyway.
FWIW, that's not the primary reason I got this car but I do think a lot of people modded these cars (or didn't take care of them) so to find a nice original example I'm going to do my best to keep it that way.

Nope, do not. I don't think the demand is there. A possible exception might be a low volume color with a low volume interior, around 25,000 miles on the clock, original paint, clean Carfax, one owner, complete maintenance records, all service done at BMW dealer etc. Even then I think one would have to find a collector as the vast majority of those interested in old X5s want a driver rather than garage queen. Even if the 4.6 does start to appreciate one will likely be holding on to it for years. All that time it is taking space in the garage, running up insurance costs and has cash tied up.
