Your are right Lamby: our cars are luxury products in the price range (new) between about 60.000 and 100.000 €/$. Even if they are cheap to buy now, they are not allways cheap to service. Yes they require service but you have to decide if it's worth this investment or you have to go with any other option - most of these other options are not really comparable in this price range and they will also eat money.
I know people complaining about spending for example 500€ into their car which runs perfect despite a single broken part and selling it for a 30.000€ somehow "new" car which makes about >20.000 € difference.

Over the weekend I saw the movie Legend* with Tom Hardy. It opens with a brief monologue from his love interest - the final line really sums up my relationship with my X5.
"Believe me when I say it took a lot of love for me to hate him the way I do." * Total side note - Tom Hardy is excellent, and if you haven't seen Locke go do that. It's an absolutely riveting movie - the entire thing is Hardy driving an X3 down the highway and making phone calls.

1iwilly - good man, keep us up to date and if we can help with any advice let me know.
As for Legend, great film... I like it when they are in the pub its an "arranged meeting" between the Krays and Richardson. Ronnie say to the rival gang's muscle who is supposedly carrying a weapon, "What's that, a rolling pin? What are you going to do with that? Bake me a cake? This is a SHOOT OUT, and you bring GUNS to a SHOOT OUT!!! LIKE A WESTERN!" Then pushes them aside to walk out the door saying "Waste of my f****** time!"

Everytime I read a story about somebody walking away from an X5 rollover accident without a scratch, or being able to make a lane change on the highway at speed to avoid another vehicle or debris flying out of a pick-up truck bed, I'm glad I'm driving an E53.
