Traded In the X5 for a 335D
With 90000 miles on the odometer, I traded in my 06 X5 Saturday. It was a great ownership experience. I owned it for 3 years and I put around 50000 virtually trouble free miles on it. Brakes, oil changes and a minor fuel guage problem is all I encountered. My wife no longer wanted an SUV, so a car was on the radar. Narrowed it down to a new 528I or a 335D. I'm certain this car will be a great experience also. Thanks for all the advice and help I got here from the members. It's off to Bimmerfest now!

I've been toying with the same decision for the last few months. I have a 2005 X5 with 80K so I'm looking forward to your thoughts about your new ride. Post some pictures and configuration.

Congrats.

Thanks everybody. I will post some pictures this weekend when I get a chance. One of the impressive things so far is the fuel(can't say gas anymore)mileage. I drove it from NJ to Delaware this past weekend. It was a combination of mostly highway but some city and the car got 37.5mpg. Looking forward to a long road trip.

I don't think the words "bullet proof" and BMW go hand in hand...LOL!!
