unbelievable how expensive these cars are now. i bought my 04 x5 for 53k brand new, now they are over 70k, geez

so im in the market for an 09 or maybe a 10 cpo for no more than 45k. i have read that the dvd changer on the 09s play movies in park or while driving if coded. can anyone comment on the video quality. this is a must for the wife to be a happy passenger on long trips. i have only test driven 3 x5s so far and it seems like the rattles are still around. my 04 had a ton... also 2 of the 3 msports i drove had a rattle coming from the driver side front, seems suspension related. is that a problem area on this model?

any info is appreciated. just need to find the right one so i can start the mods. great site btw
