My mom's '06 X5 has 106K on it, and is running smoothly with preventative maintenance, though she needs new brakes after taking it to Safety School

All the electronics (knock on wood) have been fine. I've never had to replace any of them. I have the comfort seats and 1 motor went out but that was about it...

Then it's up to you. I would get a '13 if you love the chassis and want to get the end of the run with the most "reliable" technology, but if you're OK with the risk and like your car then by all means keep the '07, and put the car payment into something fun.

My only other issue in my old E90 AND E53 has also been cracked header bolts, which most dealerships are too dumb to diagnose, but it seems like leaking oil.

Also keep in mind that the ZF 8 speed auto is replace only, no repair - almost all automatics will need a rebuild at 135-150k... I am not positive about the 6.
