Anyone moved from a M car to a X5?

If pricing is not an issue you should go for 35i with N55 engine and its faster than 4.8i (per BMW LCI press release)

If pricing is Not an issue the only X5 to even consider is the X5M! Other than the 555 reasons that are most obvious, brakes big enough to stop a big rig, the soft close doors softly seal the deal!

I'll always miss my 02 E46 M3 Cabriolet.....

Now im really confused. I drove a 06 4.8is today. WAYYYYY more fun to drive than the 08 i was looking at. And i put another 10k towards the new ride...

looks like i might make this move. I actually like the looks of the 4.8is vs. the E70, it looks like a M car.

Unless someone wants to sell me a X5M for 50gs...

The e53 4.8is is much better looking than the e70s.

Its just hard to ignore that the 4.8is is a true M car. The E70 4.8 is not. It may be a bit dated but i still think E36 M3's look good!
