MD:

Isn't a refreshed X3 a logical option? Manual trans, six cylinder (more current than your '01, more efficient), same cargo capacity as your '01 for trips north and south.... Doesn't have all the toys of the E70, but I remember driving for years without actually needing an HUD, rear camera, etc.

Just wondering.
