John
You will be happy with an X5; be sure to get the 3.0 sport premium package, xenon lights, sunroof, navigation and cold weather package as options. It has great pickup for a 3.0L 17mpg average and very comfortable. I just replaced my X5 with the H2 but my 5 series will be the daily driver. There was I time I had 4 BMW's at the same time but since Bangle has changed the styling I think the quality has gond down and price increased.
I'm waiting on a restyling for the X5 2006 or 2007 year as I was bored driving the X5 and wanted a change to the H2.

All i can say is that ive owned 3 american cars and one benz over the last 6 years and had more problems with the CLK than i had with all fords and the h2 put together. i will say that the motors in a benz are about as good as they come but the electronics were absolute crap. i wont own another benz.

John,
Ask your WWII Grandfather what he thinks about buying cars made by companies from the Axis powers.
The conversation would be very interesting.
Where did he fight?

Getting rid of the 03 Pathfinder, thinking about an BMW X5 3.0 or Infiniti FX35. Really dont want V8's in either because they cant hold a match to the S55 (about 550 crank hp), so any thoughts on the two? Price is pretty much the same within 5K so not a big deal in the decision/20" w/all seasons available on both/same option packages too. I've had one BMW before this possible one, and have had Nissans since 1988.
Obviously the H2 was an easy decision seeing how there is nothing else like it. Is the X5 sold out in terms of everyone having one, or is the FX going that way too? Any thoughts/owners opinions? Thanks.

Come to think of it, FX are quite rare and unique/cool looking. X5s are beautiful but too many around. Either or, good choices.
Why not wait for the new Hummer?

yea X5 it is. I was leaning towards it, but being a nissan man, i had to at least consider the FX. after all, carlo ghosen did wonders for the company and it is pretty much an entirely different animal since his leadership. thanks guys!

No, the H2 isnt going anywhere. This is just a vehicle to replace the pathfinder daily driver. Dont worry, when the new h2 comes out (no way im buying the h3), it will be number 4.
