Well...we are considering trading in our 4.6is for a newer (CPO) X5. Past couple weeks...we had 2 separate issues with the car and a little worried about maintenance. (its our weekend/backup car)

Any particular years i should stay away from? or look for?
I'd love a diesel...but waiting on prices to drop a little. How are the 3.0s towing? I know the E53 3.0 will tow 5000lbs...just wondering if the newer 3.0s will fair well?

Is the 3rd row seat really useless? (for kids)

If we do get a new e70...it will become our daily driver. Of course any input/advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Franklin
