When I bought my 650i M couple, the difference between the 6 cyl 640 was only $11,000. Greed is alive & well my friends.
Do you make your purchase decisions based on how much power the manufacturer says the car has, or on actual driving experience? The X5 has been tested 0-60 in 4.8 seconds. That's pretty darn good for a "base" model, regardless of how much power BMW "says" it is making. How much quicker do you need the "base" model to be? If they said it had 400hp but was slower (like the Aviator inevitably will be), would that be better or worse?
