Personally I have tried to have a less expensive daily driver to beat up, I bought a couple used BMW's, an older 335i which suited me well but I really like the send to car feature that the new iDrive has had for years now, so I got an X3. Now I like the 7's so much, and don't like to have anything different, so the 7's are my daily.

Have you looked at the VW Tiguan and/or the Ford Explorer? The new Fords pack a lot of tech for the money, not sure how well they held up but I invested in Ford and it hasn't been a bad decision yet....
