I wasn't on here long...goodbye E70

Hello again to E60...M5 style this time

So I'm trading in my X5 for an M5 on Friday. I liked my X I just didn't love it. This is the second time in my lifetime that I've bought a truck only to trade it in less than a year for a car. I figured it would be a little different this time since I'm 10 years older and married with children. I guess not. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic truck. It just wasn't me. It was fun while it lasted, but I'm moving on to an M5!

So thanks to you all. I got most of my ideas for X mods from everyone here. I have some parts for sale now. Let me know if you are interested.

- Extended Fender Flares $150+ shipping (big box, may cost $50+ to ship)

- Matte Black Grilles $50 plus shipping

- GP Thunder Angel Eye bulbs (2 sets) $30 shipped for both sets

- White Side Reflectors - $15 shipped

- Front and Rear Carbon Fiber Roundels (the rear was custom) $40+ shipping

- BMW WeatherTech Digital Fit Floor Mats (Black) $75+ shipping

- BMW Trunk Liner - $50+ shipping

- H&R Rear 25mm spacers that were never mounted. They are brand new in the box. $100+ shipping ($150+ ship on any website)

- BMW OEM 21" 128 Wheels with Tires. The right front wheel has a very small nick on it. The other three are perfect. I will also throw in a spare front wheel. It has never been mounted. This wheel is almost mint, but it had a paint chip on it so the dealer had to eat it so I got it super discounted. (A new wheel would cost you $750)

The tires still have lots of life left. They were mounted on my car on 7/15/09 and taken off on 11/10/09.(in storage for the winter) I put 5200 miles on the tires so there is almost no wear and I never had a camber issue. The whole set including the spare wheel cost me $5600 new. My price is $3000+ shipping (about $250-$450 to ship depending on where you live)


That's what I have. Shipping may vary depending on where you live. Let me know if you are interested. I can provide pics of the parts in a few days. Here are a few nice pics of my X to say goodbye to...here are some of my M. I wish the pics were as nice as the X ones. They look like they used a camera phone at the dealer

Looks still goes to the X.

But I can definitely believe the M to be more fun. Perhaps someday after my kids and their gear don't need to be hauled around comfortably anymore.

Best of luck.

If you don't mind me asking, how upside down were you if any? I am considering the same thing. Brand new 2009 X5 purchased less than 2 months ago for 2010 MDX. Yes if I go through with it there will be a financial impact but IMO worth it cause I am not feeling the X5 the way others seem to be.

Not upside down at all. I wouldn't have done it unless it made financial sense. It depends on what options you have and mileage. I got a great deal on it when I bought it last year. I managed to get $57K for my trade.

I liked my X. I just didn't love it. I'm a car guy and my second vehicle needs to be a truck not the other way around. As far as an MDX over and X. I'm not sure why you would do that. I've driven both and the MDX wasn't close in handling or performance.

I'm not sure what you have for options or engine, but if you are going to take a hit you might want to stay with your X. You'll be taking a loss on your current trade and getting less of car in return. Just an opinion...

Now as for the after market parts...yes I am taking a big loss on those.
