You could still order the current model X5 since they are coming out with the 2006 before the redesign kicks in.

Thats the problem. There are "spy shots" out there, and more pics from fairly reputable sources. The problem is, some of them are beautiful, and some look like freakin' beefed up Pintoes. You still got until late 2006(Oct) before they'll be on sale anyway. With an X, you cant lose. Or with any Bimmer for that matter. Ive sold 4 within 2 years of their model year, and made every penny back on resale. X is second on highest resale behind the Sequoia.

So if you decide next year that you want the new one, slap a coat of Zaino on it, put a sign in the window.. $$$$$$

Ye,a but the problem is October 06' is only like a year and 2 months away, I wanted to get a 3 Year LEASE, not BUY, So when the new model comes out I will be screwed.

If you lease you will be safer than buying. If the value drops because the new model comes out it should not affect your lease. right? I just turned in my MY02 5er and they didn't ding me because the e60 is out. Not sure if I follow.

You should lease now, then in 3 years if you like the new model lease it for 3 years. That will give you a year or two to get the kinks out of the new model and the whole time you are enjoying the e53.

I ahve a question Kind of off topic but,would it be cheaper,more $, or the same price if I were to get a 2 year lease instead of the 3 year lease(would work better because then I wouldnt have to wait the extra year with the older body version)

With BMW's it is wise to wait at least a year for a totally new and restyled model... New models come with new bugs and electronic problems... Go with a 3year lease and wait until they fixed most of the problems with the first year batch of vehicles...

Yea But I dont want to be driving around the older model for 2 years, It will look like how some people still have the Old ML when the new one is out and alot different.
