Thanks for the replies.

Budget isn't a problem that is why I jumped from a $13,000 car to a $25,000 one.

However, I would not be interested in spending $3000-$5000 per year to "maintain" a car. That is just not what I would like to do. I have checked Google but could not find any definite answer on the cost of maintaining this vehicle. Everyone just throws out the "too expensive to maintain" ordeal. It seems like some people don't want any other people owning BMWS. Seems like "me me me me! You can't own it!!! Only I can!" in disguise - Kidding.

But as stated earlier, my father in law owns a large mechanic shop and his shop has worked on German cars successfully with many returning customers. So a mechanic wouldn't be a problem.

Can someone give me a ball park figure on the costs of maintaining this car per year? What about an Odyssey vs X5? My wife isn't interested in driving an Odyssey lol.

PS I found another 2007 X5 Si for 82,000 KM for $24,000 as well.

Thanks again.
