I'm going to be upgrading from my 335i M-Sport to either an 535 M-Sport or X5 Premium since we are about to start a family
Had an x5 4.8 2007. Biggest nightmare of my life. A true and honest turd with 24 dealer visits in 14 months. If you get an X5 get the diesel, it's the only one that makes sense to me. I have a 2011 535 M sport, no issue with Peg Perego infant seat and now a Recaro booster seat. I'm 6'3" and my wife is 5'7" and no problems. It isn't the ideal baby mobile but I still get a major fun-to-drive factor, a fast car, good looks, great fuel economy, and for me, most importantly, isn't an X5.
