Not set in stone by any means but we are strongly considering it. I'm trying to stay away from a 3 or 5 series wagon. Looking for something different. Anyone have any opinions or comments?

First off, since this is an X5 forum, I say keep your X5.
I am an admitted Audi fan so here goes. I love the Avant/Touring/Wagon concept. It is unfortunately lost on most Americans so we don't get as much cool stuff as Europe. The A4 Avant is one of my favorites but I would say to go with a 2009+ as that is the model year they changed from the B7 version to B8.
We have a C6 generation A6 Avant and love it. It is a great looking car, has very decent room for passengers and cargo, and gets great gas mileage. We just did a 1000 mile road trip and got around 28mpg on the freeway and I wasn't exactly observing the speed limits.
We still have my E53 and I love it too.
