E70 or F15?

Do I sell my 2010 E70 35d and get a F15 35d OR drop roughly $10k and rejuvenate the old girl, tune, delete, exhaust, trans tune.

My E70 has 130xxx miles and is starting to show its age. I go into regen weekly or so. I'm getting 20mpg, CEL for DEF tank fluid sensor, shocks are going, air suspension leaks. It has Sport pkg, Tech pkg, Cold weather pkg, 3rd row seat, premium sound, panorama roof, Avin7.1 head unit. It's a well optioned car.

I've checked out the competition's diesels and dont like them as much as the BMWs. The Porsche Cayenne's interior looks cramped and switches everywhere, no 3rd row seation, little cargo room. Jaguar F-Pace looks cramped also. The Audi Q5 doesn't have 3rd row seating and the Q7 is more than I'm looking for.

Spend $10k on a 9 year old car to refresh it or sell for $10 and buy a $35xxx car that's 2-5 years old still under warranty? I'm going overseas for work for a year so I'll have time to shop and search, or time for a shop to really go through the E70.

Thanks a ton yall.

no offense but did you neglect the E70?

Im not of the F15's "feel" or interior dash, I prefer the classic-ish interior BUT it is a nice vehicle.

Are you looking at a sport trim F15?

I didn't beat on the car, I also dont pamper my cars. I drive normal. Reasonable question.

I got the car at 110,xxx miles. The rear suspension had a slow leak when I got it. I was niece and believed the dealer. First car I've ever had with air suspension, he said they settle when parked over night.

I'm thinking Sport pkg, Tech pkg, tow pkg, 3rd row seating, best sound available think it's the Hermon Kardon, heat and vent seat. I've seen pictures of the HUD, not sure if I like ot or not. I'd like to test drive a car with HUD.

Considering the g05 is out now, you can get very reasonably priced f15s. Pick up one of those not sure if you want the diesel or not, but a fully loaded 35i would be perfect.
