You were the one that contacted me about fixing your headlights, right?

I've been on the same boat with mine. It needs rotors and calipers, and that is about to drive me over the edge on maintenance. I've done tons of recent maintenance in the past 2 years, yet it is getting to the age where parts will nickel and dime you. Seriously want to trade for a 09+ Tahoe/Suburban/Avalance/Silverado but the X5 doesn't come close to those in trade in value.

and those wont come CLOSE to ride quality of the X5 either. So be careful what you wish for.

Agree to disagree. I've driven many Tahoes and Suburbans and I love the way they ride down the highway compared to the X5. The GM is much floatier, comfortable, and the steering is better weighted. If I wanted driving "feel", I'd rather get in my track rat rather than the X5.
