Hi we have members all around the world here and sometimes the time difference makes it difficult to get a response quickly. In regards to your question the face lifted models (04+) got the new X-drive system and visual enhancements along with various other improvements. However pre-facelifted models have a more classic BMW look.

Test drive both vehicles to find out which one you like more. The more common problems you will run into with a I-6 X5 are torn intake pipe, window regulators and CV boots.
