i have not deceided which route to go myself. I have about 1k miles left to make the decesion. However my 1800 would only be buying me another 18 months of maintenance. Seeing the X had almost everything done at 50k miles. For me it seems like a waste of money. the inspection 2 can be done here by a great BMW local indy shope for 400$. SO it all depends on what you have avalible to you like X5 Meister stated...
