Hi everyone.
I'm trying to make a decision about an X5 purchase and would be interested in some feedback.
I currently own a '02 X5 3.0 with 82,000 miles. I purchased it new and have enjoyed the ride . I am going to give my X5 to my 67 year old mother and buy something new (or newer).
I have been watching the the different models of cars and suv's on the market waiting to be inspired but nothing gets my attention like an X5. I still think it's one of the best all around vehicles on the road. I have seen a few photos and artist conceptions for the next generation X5 but I think I like the current model better.
So...I have been out shopping this week and it comes down to three vehicles.

1.) 2006 X5 3.0, silver/ black, prem., sport, rear climate, xenon, auto., mats. $51770 list. Can buy for $48,800 plus fees. I like the color

2.) new 2005 leftover (dealer received end of year money from the factory) 2005 X5 3.0, toledo blue/ truffle, prem. sport, rear climate, nav, xenon, auto. $52770 list. Dealer will include CD changer and sell for $44,900 plus fees. I like the equipment...not sure about the color

3.) used 2005 X5 4.4, silver/ black 10,000 miles, BMW certified w/ extended warranty, prem. sport, 19" wheels, auto. can buy for $45,000 -$46,000. This X5 looks and smells new. I like the way a 4.4 feels but am satisfied with a 3.0.

As you can see, all 3 are priced very close. #1 is where I'm leaning but #3 is less money and more... "X5". #2 seems like a good value but not sure about the color combo.

Your comments are appreciated!

Thank you
