I see you have an X5 M on order. While that engine and transmission will be amazing, it is going to have the same windows, Navi screen plastic, interior plastics, etc., etc. Don't you think you might end up with another "POS" as you call your current X5? Kind of like jumping from a hot frying pan into the fire, eh?

Sand did come to mind, but I don't think that's what it is. I think that the paint would get damaged from sand, but not the windows. It is pretty hard to scratch a window. And none of my other cars have or have had this problem.
Deutsch100, I have been in LA all my life and have been in Dubai for about 2 years. The weather has not been too bad. It does get very hot in the summer, but you have A/C everywhere or you could just pack up and go on vacation to LA (Like I do)!
As for the X5M, I had a 2010 on order but decided to wait for a 2011 or get a Range Rover. And the X5 is not a "POS" (mostly) but the scratches everywhere and a few other things are starting to piss me off.
