People smart enough to realize it had to have their exhausts cut off and new ones welded on. Door sills were missing, and God only knows if they got the HP bump.

If it were me (and yes, the new X5 is on my list), I would give it AT LEAST a year, if not two before you picked up one of these.

Just sayin...
I am on a similar situation. The lease on my 2010 3.5d expires in March. Wife does not want the same car for another three years, and my CA tells me I could get the lease extended, but I am not eager to get a first year production car. So, although not crazy with the idea, I am considering an Acura MDX which would save me some money for a couple years to then come back to the X5 (probably post LCI). Now if the incentives on the last E70 units are good story could be different...
