Thinking about purchasing an X5

Hi All, I own an e92 M3 and I'm thinking about getting a 2013,used X5 50i with 372mls. on the clock. Just want to get some opinion on anything that I should know or look at? It will be CPO. How is the durability of the 4.4 V8? This is going to be my DD, I'm replacing a 2011 328i. I know that the MPG will be less on the X5 than on the 3. Any opinons and or advise would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Eric

Is this the one in GA for $57K?

If you're used to an E92 & E90, make sure whatever you get has the sport suspension. Otherwise it will drive more SUV-like than you might like. My .02.

The durability will not matter if it's CPO.

Thank you all for the comments. The MPG was really bad on this for a DD. I'm thinking about gettig an X5 35i, for better MPG. Powerful though, I love the sound and it handled pretty good.

Of course it will matter. The CPO wont last forever. I hate responses like this.

I got a X5 diesel so I cant comment on V8.

I'm leaning the same way. The wife won't stand to put gas in 2x a week.

Please don't be angry. I should probably rephrase: do not worry about anything going wrong with the vehicle as long as it's under factory warranty or CPO. Do not own this vehicle without having either factory, an extended or CPO warranty.
