^^ honestly it’s pretty hard to come up on top when trading in. If you have a very desirable car you might be able to break even. Car shortage is over and these cars are everywhere. I considered selling privately but I remember all the time wasted and how hard it was selling the F80. The tundra is still worth a good amount so the tax saving is worthwhile. Considering the tundra has 2 claims and I didn’t fix the existing damage because I didn’t want a 3rd claim on it, I was comfortable with the final offer. Quote:

I tried so hard with my last few cars, but that always ended with disappointment with the amount of door dings I get...
If your X5M is an individual color, it might be worthwhile PPF'ing the car since touch up paint will be hard to come by.

I know it’s hard to avoid but 3 hits in one year is kinda ridiculous. I’m the type of guy that will park and repark if a nicer spots pops up. Part of the reason for the x5 is because I want to be able to park at my works gated underground parking. It spends 8 hours a day in there, so it’s nice to know it’s safe. And if it does get hit it’ll be on the surveillance cameras. Also not having to walk in the rain and snow is an added bonus.
of course at the end of the day, these are all excuses to justify the purchase.
Not an individual color so no need for ppf…. lol jk I’m just too cheap

My brother in Christ I have insurance. No one's gonna steal it I'll just get some free paintwork. I'm way more worried about having someone hit my car at 100km/h in a Richmond parking lot.

Is this F85 X5M or a F95 X5M? You a balla so prob the latter

It's pretty crazy that they've been using this motor since 2009, and it's been through 3-4 Technical Updates.

its needs a loong level detail. Quote:

handling: havent really tossed it around since its been raining so much. but im sure its capable. very rough ride but i dont mind it.
exterior: for once i prefer the pre lci. hot take, i love the lci grill but hate the lower bumper. i hate the new chevon headlights and how it loses the "halo-ish" leds.
interior: after sitting in a lci the pre lci does seem a little dated. BUT i do prefer physical buttons and not have to go into the huge 1 piece screen for everything. it looks good though.
things i didnt know i needed until now: heated arm rest. traffic assist. pre-recorded path parking i use alot. dont need it but its a cool new toy im playing with. digital key. massaging seats.
things it was speced with that i dont care for: the light up led sunroof, its cool but also a little douchey. powered cargo cover. display key. who wants a key they have to charge every week and cant be attached to your key ring, also douchey to carry around. Quote:

Very nice!
I'm with you in preferring the pre-LCI dash over the LCI. The touchscreen doesn't bother me as much as the lit-up X5 motif that feels too poser-ish for me.
Those heated armrests are something else too. My first experience with that was in an E-Class and that small feature was easily the most memorable attibute about that car.

The S68 is only available on the new M60i stuff, XM, and new M5 - a twin turbo V8 PHEV.
Is this Tanzanite Blue? Kinda reminds me of the OG Carbon Black on the E46, but that car was mostly black except in the sun when it's blue lol.

My friends with the LCI screen seem to be okay with it though - they definitely aren't letting the lack of buttons stop them from getting a M3/M4 haha. Worst case they just activate the voice assistant to control HVAC controls.

lol not much of a fleet when it’s only 2. Adding a K truck as a hauler/daily beater sounds…. Irresponsible!
