I am looking to get a car right now that can transport 5 people. Ive been looking into M5, X5, MB C32, Infininty FX. I cannot think of anything else in the price range of mid 30s.

I was looking at X5s and am thinking about getting the 3.0 X5. I saw a 03 with 13k miles on it going for 35k. I was wondering, what is a good year, based on price to benefits. Do these depreciate at a spacific time.

Also, i was wondering about how much some upgrades would run me. I would be getting the 20 inch 5 spoke bmw wheels, And Clear Rear turn signal lights, and different interior trim kit, cuz i hate wood, and yellow signals. Anyone know how much this would run me.

Get a certified X5 from a BMW dealer. Rear lights are about $170.00 from the dealer, or about $125 on ebay used. Clear side markers are about $25 on ebay new. You can get graphite kits starting at about $400, but it depends on quality and how many parts you purchase.

The 3.0 is a good vehicle, but I prefer the 4.4. Just a little more power all around. :eyecrazy :eyecrazy :eyecrazy :eyecrazy :eyecrazy :eyecrazy :eyecrazy :eyecrazy

Out of the cars you listed, def. dont get the C32, unless the people you are transporting are little..

I'd get an M5, but my second choice would be an X5..
