I know the feeling. We looked at the E70's when they first came out and decided to keep our 4.4i for at least another 5 years. After all we were still getting compliments on our 'new' X5. But a kid in a pickup ended that plan in a heart beat by rear ending it at 60mph (ouch)
Luckily by that time BMW had added the 35d to the line up and we were able to get past the fact that the E70 is both too big and way too computerized for our taste.
FWIW we regularly keep vehicles for
decades. But I figure the E70 is a 5-7 year vehicle at best. Too much plastic and way too much electronics to maintain after the original and extended warranties expire.
