Next up: a Nissan Murano SL AWD. I'll miss the massive torque, I won't miss paying higher-than-premium for diesel. The Murano is very nicely appointed - power everything, including the lift gate and the fold-down rear seats, keyless entry and ignition, etc.

Enjoy your X5's - I will miss mine, even though I think selling mine and moving on was the right choice for me.
This makes zero sense.

Of course if you want a new car after two years, go for it....

But to say the costs under the warranty for the first two years (which you didn't pay!) somehow have a bearing on a trade in decision when you have two more years of warranty seems odd.

It is also an absolute FACT that you will be worse off financially buying and selling two new cars in four years than one car in four years.

Like I said, having and driving new cars are fine- and how you justify it is your business
