1. Why buy an SUV for driving enjoyment? (I have an M5 and a 996TT for that.)

2. $57k for trade? How much 'trunk money' is BMW paying dealers for each E60M5 these days??? DO NOT think that a dealer pays BMWNA "invoice" for those cars..... the trade in valuation is only half of the deal- without knowing the other half it is meaningless.

Enjoy!

I did the same thing...traded my X5 after less than a year for an M3. I also really liked the X5 but just didn't love it (nor did I enjoy washing it), yet I still worried that I'd regret selling it. That turned out not to be an issue at all. I LOVE my M3!!

To the OP, good luck with the M5.

I can't give up my M3 but wanted the X5. So I just sold my wife's car and bought her the X5. Now I have the best of both worlds.

I think the X5 is fantastic but comparing it with M3s and M5s is apples and oranges. These vehicles are in completely different categories.

That's the way to go.

And I agree...they are completely different animals. I had a 2004 E46 330i and a 2006 E90 330i, then thought I was ready to move to a larger/higher vehicle and bought the X5. I really did like it and thought it was a beautiful vehicle (search for my thread where I posted pics) but I started to get the itch to get back into a car. Then I made the "mistake" of test driving the M3 and I was immediately sold. I plan to be an X5 owner again someday...hopefully it will be my wife's car and I will be driving an M!

Funny how wives prevent trigger pulling. I was about to buy her a brand new X5 last year and she intervened and prevented trigger pulling

Ended up buying her a used low mileage X5. More money in my pocket
