2012 X5 50i versus 2010 X5M

michaelpnett · 10-06-2011, 09:49 PM

Hey Guys,
I need help deciding.

Lease a new 2012 X5 50i or buy a nice 2010 X5M with 12k miles for $76K.

The X5 50i lease will cost me quite a bit less money, but I just can't get that X5m out of my head.
Unfortunately, I cannot get the guy to move much on the X5M.

I am coming from an M3. I love the M cars.
But it seems like with a chip you can make the X5 50i a beast as well.

Help

The x5m should be around 67 to 70. Not 76. Way to hiGh. I sold mine 7 months ago for 70. Great truck. Good luck

michaelpnett · 10-06-2011, 09:55 PM

It is loaded to the gills, but I agree.
However he will not move.
Here it is on ebay:

you can mod a lease car? I went from 2011 50i to X5M, love it!

nyranger74 · 10-07-2011, 08:32 AM

I'd go for the brand new 50i. However if I had to do it over again I'd get the X5M

X54SiQI · 10-07-2011, 09:10 AM

those used high performance car Like M worried me, who know how previous owners drive their's, but again you save alot money from brand new one. I would get used X5M if it has CPO extend warranty.

Get the M... I got a 335 and I regret not getting the M3. I'm happy with my car, but... there's always a BUT. Good luck with your decision!

Trevor46 · 10-07-2011, 11:31 AM

Buy the X5M - you will always think that you should have bought the M if you take the 50i and not the other way around .

Michael_s · 10-07-2011, 11:35 AM

Get the M. I just traded a 2011 50i for a 2010 X5M. Not even close, the M is so much better.

PS - I paid 72K for a 2010 X5M with 11K miles. Could not get them any lower and I tried for a month! Market not so easy around NY/NJ area. Could have found X5M lower out of State but not worth it. Also, this dealer gave me 60K on trade for my 2011 50i Sport MSRP of 73K (that I paid 67K) with 13K miles which was at least 5K higher than all other dealers which made the M price even better.

But I do think 76K is a little high.

needspeed · 10-10-2011, 08:22 PM

Get the M, it is on another level from the 5.0.......Steve

IGotId · 10-10-2011, 10:52 PM

I debated the same decision a few mo's ago...decided on the M. No regrets here!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

david0310 · 10-11-2011, 04:52 PM

i came from a 2003 m5 to a 2010 X5M and like everyone above says .- You will regret not getting it, it is an amazing machine just make sure you have a cpo to go with it. Ive ownerd the car for almost a year and I think the cpo has paid for itself already. The car isnt problematic at all but I did experience some computers issues that without a warranty couldve been pretty scary, monetarily.
Btw bought mine with 19k miles on for 70k.

get the MMMMMMMMM.... dont rush it.the right one will come along for the RIGHT price
