Which X5?

[Joshdub]

I would buy a 2005-2006 3.0 with the 6 speed manual and full sport package.

Why? Because it's the best.

It's more fun than an autotragic
It'll leave you with extra cash for repairs
The manual doesn't fail like the autos do
Xdrive is better than the prefacelift version
The m54b30 is relatively cheaper and easier to maintain


If I had to be boring and get one with 2 pedals, I'd get the 4.8is. Any E70 that I'd consider worth buying is out of the 15k budget.
