My wife has a 2007 base model. She now has about 67k on the clock. Great basic car. The v6 is fast. Gas mileage isn't great but it is VERY reliable. The only time it let us down was when the battery went, it warned me and I pushed it. Ok in the snow with the 4wd. Sturdy but for what it's worth, feels a little like a tin can after driving the X5. Oh, and the stereo sucks real bad...
