Seeking advice x5 purchase.

335idle · 10-03-2015, 11:47 AM

Hello.,
I just paid off my n55 335i., and would like to purchase another BMW. My wife's daily driver is about run into the ground. So I am considering the amazing X5. But I'm not sure which model to buy., or year.

Ideally would like speed and performance and storage., possible 3rd row seats.
Daily driven 5 days a week(15-18k a year). Warranty maintenance not to worried best friend is a BMW master tech.

Considering 2011-2014 35i of the 35d
We live in Maryland so winter sucks at times.

Thanks for the advice !

Unlimited budget huh? BTW 2014 is the current generation

^., I don't wanna buy brand new no need. Bought my 335i one year used saved a lot of money. I know the 2014 is current generation. But I prefer the look of last model.
Budget wise no more than 45k ideally(30-45k out the door.

There is a guy on here selling his gorgeous black 50i for well within your budget. It has all the amazing options.

2012 or 2013 M-Sport 35i with pretty low kms would probably be the best if you want something that drives well but better fuel economy but if that isn't the problem, 50i with M-Sport Pkg. I was able to get my 35i for 51kCAD sitting at 28,250km (17k miles), Executive Pkg/SideView Cameras with 2 more years warranty left on it.

$45k gets you a lot. A 2013 loaded 35i or 35d is in your grasp, with warranty.

When you say out the door does it include tax? If so what's your tax rate?

335idle · 10-03-2015, 05:56 PM

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I'm really leaning towards the 35d, not looking for speed. The 335i is fast enough.
I'm im MD tax rate is 6% plus tag/registration(6-700)

Loving my 2011 X5 35d. Great for road trips especially with the gas mileage.

So minus about $3k from budget, so you max is now $42k pretax
