However:
1. I will not really be able to afford genuine servicing as the car is on 50k miles and I will have to pay out for those in time. I suspect it will be £500 for a non dealer service plus £650 for a set of run flats.
This would equate to expenditure of £1150.00 for the next 12 months to allow the correction of the market perhaps, rather than spending £30,000 to change into an X5 and being the wrong side of it value wise when Covid sales pick up and there is more supply.
I'd like an X5 G series but not for £55,000 used and in the UK if you finance you pay 10.Something % interest !!!!!!!
Not wishing to over post I may just post a specific thread to see if anyone has actually changed out their run flats without ruining the air suspension and go from there. I could then run it for another 12 months.

You drive a 7 series and then you cry over road tax?? Come'on! I just paid £490 for my x6m50d, £155 for 740, and £145 for my wife's car too ald 1 year/each. I am smiling even coz I am alive, healthy.
Sorry just don't understand why would you go for standard tyres and not for RFLs as per manufacturer's specs??? I never mess with the factory settings.
Check your credit scoring with Experian and ask for a quote from BMW Finance. You will be surprised as they do a soft check then a hard search. If your credit scoring is higher than 750 you will be given the low apr.
I had 8 offers from BMW but said no as I paid for the x6M50d in full. Think long term not short term.
Warranties : extended BMW is the best. I had no issues with my 7 and it's rock solid at 43k.
