Just got ours at Rallye in NYC. Although the guy who helped us was an arse. We still managed to leave with an '06 (3.0i) w/ 8900 miles.

Car includes:
Nav
Prem. Pack
Privacy Glass
Pass. climate
Heated steering
and some other fun stuff..

Now just waiting for my 20" Cross rims to arrive to upgrade this beast. Really a fun ride.

I just posted in this forum today about looking to buy an x5 and wanted to get some idea of realistic numbers.

$34000

Also added the maintenance with it. Was shock to find a car with low miles - I saw some '06-'07 selling for more with more miles..

That is an awesome deal and in line with what I've been seeing out there. I better make a move before gas prices drop! Realistically, what is the best warranty I can get and what will it cost? As I mentioned in another post, I am looking for 100,00 miles (no time limit) coverage. Thanks.

If you do purchase an X5 '06 model just make sure the mileage is nothing above 30,000 - so you still have the maintenance as well as the 100,000 miles coverage. At this point you can haggle them to include extended on Maintenance if you are good and the full coverage beyond 100,000 miles but it's rare. Also, your insurance will go up a little - my insurance went up by $40.00 - only because I had the daylights, lo-jack, and I am taking defense classes which will drop another 10% off that.

What's your price range?

It really depends on a few things how much you will end up spending.

1) How much down you are putting on?
2) What year?
3) Exterior and Interior color.

I just saw a white '06 with less options in it for $35,900 and 17,000 miles.
