I think black was hands down the nicest colour on the E53

I was going through the same thing between gas prices and repairs
these X are expensive to maintain.
This was my 10th BMW and will be my last. I ended up getting a 96
integra as my DD. The X only comes out on Sundays now.
Hey those 2013 328 are great in gas mileage and look good nice replacement.
Trade in def a bad idea... I work in a dealership we tell you 13k for trade in
and in reality you're only getting 7k.

now you tell me! i knew in trading in my vehicle i wasn't going to get the kind of deal i would get if i sold privately and felt the deal wasn't too bad considering the mileage and it needed tires. it wasn't great but not terrible, if that makes sense.

getting a car is overwhelming and i don't find enjoyment in it at all. it's a numbers game and even when i think, ok, this is doable, once everything is signed and done i feel like i got screwed royally. not fun.

since you work at a dealership, how do they work in the trade, exactly? just curious.

Unfortunately the day I picked up my car it was raining (omen?)

so i only have pictures from the test drive day.

Its supposed to be beautiful here all week so I'm going to get her nice and clean and take better photos.

Sad to have the X gone, but nice replacement. Any more picture of your "eBay" side steps on the X?
