In general, i suppose this thread is meant to point out whether you'd rather have an older BMW or a new domestic "blah" car. So, the real question for you would be, would you rather have a brand new Mazda 2 in manual, or a 5 year old 330i in manual?
The comparison isn't to a 100,000 mile car though, it is to a new one. A new Fiesta or Focus drives pretty well. It is certainly a reasonable alternative to a 100,000 mile X5.

You need to differentiate between non-driver's cars and driver's cars. There are lots of driver's cars that don't have a roundel.
