Am I crazy? Three times the charm?
So, fellow XOutPosters - sway me. Should I pick another one up? (3.0i is not an option, no offense to those owners)

Well seeing as I just finished my latest repairs, I have to say yes you are completely insane!! But that's ok, I mean just look at the company you'd be keeping! "Taco" has a 4.8iS in Kalahari sitting in Bahrain that may interest you for being a different color with all the surface of the sun options....
Best of luck and lets face it... You missed me Sent from my SM-A730F using Tapatalk

Let's face it, all second hand (or fifth hand in many cases) BMW enthusiasts are a little off. We enjoy the looks and driving characteristics so much we are willing to overlook the obvious maintenance costs associated with the aforementioned awesomeness.
The good news is they are usually very cheap to buy thanks to the average owner sucking at maintenance or not being independently wealthy so they have bottomed out on their depreciation. This means you can buy it and budget $2000 - $5000 immediately after purchase to bring it back into daily driver reliability territory. You'll still be into it for less than any new car or cpo vehicle options out there today.

OK you asked for it....
No, don't tip your toe move on to a Honda minivan as that will be your style when kids come along.....:rof l: I don't think you need the drama that these fragile Beasts bring on without having a second or third car and a garage. I believe the later gens have less teething issues and provide 80-90% of the raw driving feelings. X5M prices are dropping like a rock so there are deals out there from all of those trade ins going on. It is really a question of acquisition $$ vs DIY time/$$$. Do you want the depreciation or the repair $$? Can't escape either with high end Euro performance vehicles. Now back to that Honda purchase. A Civic or the Accord? Now I have to get back to researching another item requiring DIY on my aging fleet of BMWs.

Drive an X5M or X3M, you'll quickly forget about the E53. That being said the E53 is dam near the end of its depreciation curve, yet noone is buying.
Dam air suspension probably. Now I have to run away from the ban hammer XD

They fixed everything I disliked over the X3-M340ix, Interior was of a proper M car, exterior looked awesome, drove like stink. Just $$$ is all It'll be one hell of a post-lease car. Drove it back-to-back at the Mtown tour and I loved it the most over the M2C, M5C, and M850i.

Ok... I can loan you one (1 year old) and I'll throw in the 4.8iS for free, just return him after college
