If you want a minivan feel you might as well go get a Honda Oddysey or a Toyota Sienna. Obviously I'm for sticking with an X5.

Your X5 shouldn't be cast away so quickly. 90K KM is nothing. I have 52K miles (83,668 kms) on mine and it's going great. Hell, KewlX5 has over 125,000 miles (201,000 kms) on his. I don't know why you don't think it makes sense to get rid of it just because it's at 90,000 kms.
