LOL. I think I was in the same boat as you a few yrs ago when I bought my 01. I got mine for a great deal, but still high mileage (75k). I guess you could do what I did, purchase an extended warranty for any major mechanical issues. Luckily I haven't had to spend too much $ on it, or at least not the kind of money that would make me feel that i made a bad decision (knock on wood!). LOL. Only major work was the alternator, and even that isn't too bad if you catch it before it happens (unfortunately I didn't so ended up spending about $1200, along with some other work i had done). I had a 97 saab as my interim car and hated when I had to put $200 into it for anything.. but i love my X5, I spend $200 on things i don't need LOL.
So i guess the question is, do you have the $ to keep up with the maint? If not get the 30k car. Thing is a car at 30k might be 30k of hard driving.. the car with 75k might have been pampered and maintained. Luckily I got door #2. Check the service history etc.. Make yourself feel a little better (or worse) about both Xs
Oh.. i'm at 113k and going strong..
