hmm.

I guess pretty much everyone i know goes against your comment.

I had E39x2 and E46. And already moved onto E60 and E90.

Pretty everybody i know also made the move from E39 to E60.

Personally i like the E60 exterior more than E39. The dynamic of V8/V10 powered E60 are better than E39 V8 counter part.

Was your X5 a 4.6is/4.8is or just the bodykit along with the painted pleack trim...

I own a 4.8is and I really like it...

I'm on the verge of ditching BMW all together unless I find a good reputable dealer (if possible). I live in Miami and although my family and I have gone through more than 2-5 generations of cars each with them, they still feel they can upcharge an M5 for 8K along with asking for a $3000 deposit... Incredible. I know for sure one day in the future I will own a Lexus so its cool to see what experiences you guys are having...

Hope to hear more of that review with the comparison of the X5 and the GX.
