Yeah, that is what I think I might end up doing (hoping the $4500 eco credit will be available in 4-5 months!)... Then in 3 years I will likely to catch up the LCI of the nextgen, or just prior to LCI - meaning quality issues will be worked out.

I had 2008 X5 4.8i, it had "some issues" - some mechanical, some battery-related... The 2011 X5 35d is by far more reliable (so far, knock on wood).
