Off of KBB.com when looking for a 2002 BMW X5 3.0 with 45K and only the default options:

---
Excellent $24,900
Good $23,600
Fair $21,800

And that is with a manual transmission.

Now a 2004 X5 3.0 with 45K on it with no options was:

---
Excellent $30,530
Good $28,820
Fair $26,505

So whom ever remarked to wait for a 2004 to drop to 22K you'll be waiting a long time for a 8,000 dollar price drop.
