If you want reliable SAV don't even think of buying a German, if you want drivability and performance than buy one. Save some money and be prepare to fix this Ultimate Driving Machine especially it's out of warranty. Search the forum for all the problem with the 4.8i than you can make a decision. I am just like you and never own a German car before, all my my were Japanese. But after owning one than only got it why so many people still stick to BMW even so many problems and glitches with them.

I just own the car for less than a year, already fixed quite a few problems eg.
Tailights, mechatronic sleeve, vacuum pump, radiator temp sensor, suspension airbags, all by DIY so I save tons of $$.

If this is your uncle's X5 I would buy it since he kept all the maintanence records. Remember be prepare to fix it or leave it.
