I got a 2012 Phantom Black with Cinnamon interior, friends and family like it a lot.
No negativity towards BMW X3's or X5's, I was just ready for something different at this point. I'll be back with BMW at some point.

Good to know - thx.
Have been looking at the Q5 lately. Nothing wrong with my X but I'm ready for something different ..and I may want to dump it before the common $$ issues start to come up. A good friend of mine owns a Porsche/Audi dealership and I can get a new or used Q for true dealer cost + the benefits of service/repairs down the road. Very tempting...
