Pfft....after owning so many BMW's - and surprisingly enjoying this sole venture into the SUV/SAV segment - I will likely end up with a Honda Accord coupe if I don't keep the X5 at the end of the lease.
I keep teetering between the idea of keeping the X5 or getting the new M4 (..I love me some ///M cars), but the alternative idea of choosing a less expensive (..but fairly mature) vehicle is an admittedly attractive premise. I guess time will tell.

I thought the whole premise was to make the purchase of a new ride while you are single BEFORE you get married ha. That's what all my buddies say.

I just came to the same conclusion. I was planning on waiting for the F15 and when I saw the photos I traded my 2011 E70 for a 2013! This Is my 3rd x5 and 3rd E70! I love this car and the build quality gets better in each year of each generation.

how have M cars in general been to maintain beyond the 4 year mark? Much worse than the non-M versions? More can go wrong is seemingly a given, but are costs that much higher too?

Don't know about the turbo ///M vehicles specifically, but turbo versions of other brands that I have a history with, tend to be 2-3x in diagnostic & repair costs...
That said, sure wish I could stuff an X5M Engine under my 4.8i hood The rest of my SAV is awesome, but the extra 200HP would make it perfect. Maybe someone will do an aftermarket turbo kit for the E70...?? This is tempting: BMW : X5 Still Under in BMW | eBay Motors

HIGHLY doubtful! Hell, you can barely find software for a 35i. Unless you own a 5.0/X5M twin turbo, you're SOL. |
