Either way, I wouldn't touch either one of them at this point, any older than a 13 or 14. Once the warranty is gone, you're looking at extremely expensive repairs. The N63 has weak valve seals according to my dealer, and its several thousand dollars to pull the heads and replace them. They flat out told me when my warranty expired, get rid of the car or you're gonna spend $30-40k in the next few years in repairs (head rebuilds, turbos, intercoolers, transmission, air shocks, etc.). I ordered a new F34 2 weeks later, because I want no part of that.
If you can afford it, either vehicle will get the job done. If you can't, you're looking at the wrong cars.

Thanks for the comment! sounds great will definately take that into the consideration. couple of things i guess i wanted to add.
i will be buying the '12 probably and i will make sure it has less then 24k miles and on top of that i will purchase the extended warrantee till 100k and 2 years so that will give me time until, i say about... 2016-2017... so about 3 years on the car... which i think then i will be able to sell it without loosing too much $..... maybe thoughts on that?
I was also thinking about X5M 2011 (thats the price range) but nothing interesting comes up and it is 2011 unfortunately....
thanks again!
