All the more reason to keep my '04 a bit longer.

I am keeping it. The prices have dropped a lot. Might as well.

Might pick up a newer one soon (04-05). Right now I have an 01.

Considering I paid ~net $40k for my $60k X5 after the sec 179 deduction in Nov '03, even $25k is not bad depreciation

How is a Cayenne S an "upgrade" over a 4.4i? Probably should be rephrased to "downgrade".

Wow. Have the prices declined that much since March?

I got $24K for my '02 X5 4.4i 63K 5 months ago, from a BMW dealer no less. I thought was a fair deal back then. It looks a great deal now.

Pepper S is no faster or better handling the the 2004+ X5 4.4's. Now FI is another story......
