I have 22k to spend, not a penny more. Now in a few years, it will be a much different story lol. I did find an 04 4.8 (red) that looked pretty bad ass, but whether I get a 3.0 or 4.4 doesn't matter too much to me (I'd take an 06 3.0 vs. 05 4.4 with all the same features)

Right now I'm leaning towards this 05 as there isn't anything else that matches what I'm looking for out there. I search autotrader, cars.com, craigslist (every state), ebay, etc 2-3 times a day.

I like the look of the 07+ X3s, but they don't seem to have as nice of options (but they have a lot less miles and longer warranties)
