Really, I think the X6 looks like a beast! I raced one with my slow GS3 an

Were you out of warranty? I am trying to get a ballpark figure of how much these things cost, thanks.

I am looking to get an 05-08. The ones that are in my price range have about 40-60K miles. Hopefully that's not too much.

Oh, the streets would not be ready for me if I got an M5.

two completely different animals here. if you enjoy driving...BMW. if you want to feel absolutely disconnected from the road and enjoy the soft highway cruising car, Lexus. Like what rominl said, free M performance driving school. Might get you hooked or turn you into a track junkie after that class. =)

I like the X6, but I'm scared of European cars since I'm cheap.

For me, I wouldn't care if a car was twice as sporty for the same money if it was twice as unreliable.

Examine your priorities. It usually goes like this:

Cheap, Fast, Reliable: Choose two of the three. :P
