I would have no outstanding regular maintenance issues present before taking the plunge. I have not driven a naturally aspirated X5's, so I am not sure if the power justifies the dollars.

You'll be in something newer, better, maybe faster (I have yet to race one!), and that awesome warranty. The speed difference between the S/C 4.6is and the X5M would be so slight that I would absolutely go for the new hotness.
