Back in a BMW. Thankfully.

After selling an E92 M3 for an E90 M3 when my wife got pregnant I realized that the E90 was still not going to accommodate a baby and a few dogs. And truthfully I was tired of driving manual in the city of Chicago after 10 years. I made the mistake of moving to a 2008 Mercedes E63. It was clean and had low miles but that didn't stop it from racking up nearly $8000 in repairs since August. Thank God for Fidelity Platinum.

Last week I ditched the E63 and made the move to this X5M that I purchased from TheUtahX5M. It arrived in Chicago this morning and I've already had her bathed and run some errands with her.

So far it's WAY more of a driver's car than the Merc E63.

Plans:
Tune, exhaust, maybe high flow cats or downpipes. A few cosmetic changes and a thorough detail. Also, going to have the wheels fixed and refinished into a gunmetal color.

It has warranty until July 2020 but hopefully it isn't needed much!

Thanks to Jeremy for an awesomely smooth transaction. This is my third car purchase or sale on this forum. Great experiences for the most part.
