For the seasoned X5 M owners, would you do it again?

17 months and 10,430 miles. Would buy it again in a heart beat (in fact my sales guy just told me today they have a '13 allocation available if I want it)....hmmmm.
Best daily driver I've ever owned. Even better than the E60 M5 I traded when i bought this one

I've had my x5m for a year and 6k miles. I would definitely do it again and for me this one is a keeper. I've been flipping cars annually (or even semi-annually) and this is the first car in 5 years that's a keeper.

That said I wouldn't buy used again. The depreciation hit new is killer and not worth it. I should have waited for a used one.

When is it coming? Probably in time to trade in the "older" 2013 model.

Yes, there will be F15 X5 M, and this time it will not be three model years late. Most probably late 2014 or early 2015. F30 M3 and X3 M will be released before that.
X5 M and X6 M accounted for 34% of total worldwide sales of ///M badged cars in 2010. So its here to stay.

Check this new M6 thread for what to expect in next gen X5 M and X6 M.

what you really should do is lease...let the dealer take the hit.

24,000 miles and I still love the vehicle. The size is right for me, but it is big. lucky to get 13 mpg. I think BMW screwed the pooch with their Navigation Upgrade not being DVD based. My local dealer wants $400 for it. By the way Lexus has a much better Nav system. May not seem like a big deal but after laying out close to $100,00 you need a Garmin. I've had 9 diferent BMWs, these wheels are the easiest to get the brake dust off, but it's still a pain. I hope this vehicle makes it 100K miles before the service costs will probably torpedo my ownership.

We recently did exactly that - we took delivery of our 2010 X6M in October of 2009, and loved it. In June of 2011, another driver failed to yield at an uncontrolled intersection, and took out most of the driver's side front end of the car. It wasn't totalled, unfortunately. After that, it pulled to one side, and made two different clunking sounds that could not be rectified.

We were VERY happy to order another X6M, exactly the same as the first, with the exception of the interior trim - carbon leather instead of the aluminum trim. We've had it for about three months (2012 model), and love it just as much as the first one we had! Can't WAIT to see what the next version will be like!

Just picked up a 2012 X5M Carbon Black. The lease on my 2010 BMW X5M was up. I did it again and am very happy! God Bless.
