Would you mind detailing what repairs cost 6k? I hope the X5 isnt that much of a money pit when it gets older but I wouldn't wager on it.

Good color choice on the X5. You may want to plastidip the rear diffuser in matte black. I think it looks a lot better that way.
They had a M2 Comp DCT on the lot. My wife was a no go on another M car new or used. Too small for the driving I do anyway.

2 times in for misfires. Plugs and coils. $3,000
Finally figured out it was a bad front crank seal. Prior owner had messed with the wiring with some kind of mod attempt which took forever to diagnose. $3,000.

Final repairs I did not do was $1,600 for a new radiator and $2,000 for the battery. $9,600 in one year and 25k miles. Should have gotten an extended warranty, not bought a used M car at all or maybe not the best daily driver with that kind of mileage. Either way, I loved that car. Loving the X5 too for different reasons obviously. Updated pic of my X5.
