I don't need a ton of power and I just felt safer going with the relatively bullet-proof BMW inline 6. And when I purchased mine, the price delta between the two engines was upward of $6,000....

Well, I do think you take your chances with a first-year new model with any car make. You have an '07, yes? I think that's part of the problem with our 5 wagon; it was the first year for the xi...

I've had a 2001 Z3, a 2001 330i, a 2003 330i, a 2003 325xiT (my father has this one now), a 2006 530xiT (still have this one), and a 2009 X5 3.0.

So far the X5 is the second most reliable BMW...

I think you should have your wife drive an X5 with adaptive drive. I find that when I turn the sport button off, the ride is much more compliant--which is nice for passengers. But when I drive alone,...

Makes sense. But I highly recommend at least PDC (do you have to have Tech for that?) for parking it tight places.

I am 5'5" and have survived trips of up to an hour in the third row. It's doable--especially if you are the only one back there and can turn at an angle to occupy some of the adjacent seat.

I read at one point that the 3rd row in the X5 is engineered for a 50 mph rear ender. That's why they retained the awkward clamshell design for the tailgate. This info is from Emission over at the...

Cool. It's a great program. I got the rebate on my 3.0si. I let my membership lapse when I bought my 5 wagon three years ago, so I'm vigilant now about keeping up with it.

why not just buy Yakima or Thule crossbars? And the faring really helps cut down on noise. At least with our setup for our 5 wagon. Haven't tried it all on the X yet.
