Pre X drive vs X drive E53...cant decide

[Zildjian106]

I have my sights set on a non x drive 01 3.0 that has prem, sport, xenon, not sure if it has Cold weather but it does have heated seats. Anyways it has ZSP which is what I want.

On the other hand there are 2 06's which would be x drive but they are prem, cold weather, parking distance, rear climate and no xenon no sports...I could give a hoot about the rear climate and its a bummer it does not have the sports package. However its a 6 speed which is nice. Im really on the fence about which one to get, and I was just made aware that the early x5's were not x drive. The non X drive pre facelift e53 is still a nice 4wd system no? No serious hiccups or anything? If its even lower maintenance that might be a good thing. Or should I just suck up not having the sports package and get the X drive car? Xenons and the Sports package on the earlier car have me still leaning to that one. Its also got 20K less miles despite being an 01. I am just hoping the non x drive driving experience is similar. Anyone who has driven both pre x drive and x drive cars please chime in.
