Selling my 06 4.8IS

Anyone have any input as to helping me with my decision. I am considering selling my 06 because I am reaching 95K miles. I dont like the E70 though......

Any thoughts would be welcomed.

What are your reasons? Hard for us to decide really, its up to you and your wallet and how you feel.

I love my X5, I have had no problems whatsoever that I have not been able to solve on my own. I have cash to buy what I want, but do not like the E70, dont care for the Porsche, Audi, Acura, nor, the MB. I love my 5, but would like to be able to play my MP 3 music and some of the technology of newer vehicles.

I cant seem to find the performance nor the sexiness of my X. I can tell you I hate the snow tires, they make a hell of a lot of noise. I love my factory 20's with Vred's but cant use them in the snow.

I dont know what to do.... I always have people say how beautiful my X is, I have people offer to buy it. But what do you replace it with that can compare...?

You love your X so much, just leave it. If you have enough cash just get something else as well.

mileage is just a number. if you love your X5 why sell it? You know the mechanical condition of it now, youre used to it. i mean unless your bored of it, i see no reason to sell.

the 4.8is is truly an amazing machine, and honeslty i dont think these newer cars are made to the quality that the 4.8is was.

btw, didnt you JUST buy it?

To me the X5 started this shi*t, its the benchmark to what SUV/SAV are today... I dont think anything can compare... only that technology improves but quality in materials doesnt.. everything now is cheaaappp!

Get the X3 m edition with 300 horses. almost same size as e53 and it will handle way better than the e70. get a dinan upgrade for another 40hp and you will be flying past e53 4.8's

An idea i've toyed with: V10 from M5 retro'd into my 4.6iS, stroked by Dinan. Love the new XMonsters but if i can customize their performance or better, into the shell of an E53 iS that would be ideal (in my world).

Happy hunting

G-Power!!!! or the new TT V8 + tune.

Sorry for the highjack

Sad to see another let go, but good luck with the sale (if you go that route). But like they say, if you love it, keep it.
