I would have gone stark raving, set myself on fire, insane when the Bimmer started having expensive maintenance issues early on as they are known for. But then again, maybe it is just an old wives tale that the BMW SUVs are a nightmare to maintain? What experiences did you have with that vehicle? I noticed you used the word "sane" so I am guessing there are some stories.

BMW upsides:
Far more luxurious
Advanced electronics
BMW downsides
Over-engineered - all that advanced stuff causes expensive issues
Off-road capabilities are lacking - speed bumps at the mall are about it.
Resale value - drops like a rock.
