I contemplated selling my E90 M3 for an X5 M as my combined work and fun car. I’m a photographer and videographer so a larger SUV was on the cards.
Ultimately realised that I would constantly be worrying about it too much. I fill my work car with lots of equipment cases, have other people driving it, and put a lot of kms on it, so it would have been a bad decision.
Ended up getting a big, comfy SUV that’s good off road, loaded with the tech I wanted (carplay and radar cruise were must haves), and that I can just forget about.
Very pleased with the decision!
