the best thing you can do if you ask me is - get her 5 series xdrive and change urs to 6 or 6GC after some time

Edit: or just wait a little bit until the new 5 series is on the market

Can't she wait a year till the new 5 is out? Or get her an F10, then you get the new 5! That's the best solution

I kinda want to wait and see what problem issues come out as usual for first year models

Then, trust me! Try out the X5!
I've owned a 2011 535i and a 2016 X5 xDrive35i, they both are Amazing and the X5 actually drives like a Sport Sedan. It's superglued onto the road, gives you confidence when driving on a road with lots of bends and twists, just like a 5 Series would.
Or even better, if she wants something even more like a Sports Sedan, check out the X6! That's even better than the X5!!!!!

Watch the Top Gear episode where Jeremy Clarkson reviews the X6. Entertaining and informative at the same time!

With you on this one, my wife X3 was a year one production 1st quarter, the car bugged with problems, feels like it was assembled by drunk workers.
You should try the 5 GT instead, and should be available with good discount since the new model is around the corner too, this way you have a 5 with more comfort space and practical.
Having to 2 F10’s is wasted opportunity, only make sense if you adding an M5, a complete different car.

An X6 is an SAC (Sports Activity Coupe) trust me, that's the best choice!

x6 is a beast. The tires must cost a bloody fortune! 5 GT a bit goofy looking.
Depreciation of them makes for compelling values.
