Honestly, to ask this questions of most X5 owners on this forum is well, silly. I could spend the $15k on a new domestic (as well as most of you) but choose not to because of what many of you have already stated, I'm a driver and I enjoy driving my 02 X5 4.4 because of the feedback I get when I drive it. My wife has a 04 Ford Taurus that she won't let me get rid of and for her it's the right car. For me give me my BMW.
