CPO is the way to go!
When we got ours in Dec of 2020, we were able to get a CPO with around 20K miles, with an original MSRP of around 97K for 57K that included BMW's extended warranty to cover 7 years and unlimited miles.

Love the upgrades
I am a owner of a 2009-X5 and was shopping for another. I love the new features. The seats are comfortable, driving is a dream. The safety features are amazing. Friends own similar Brands, but the BMW-X5 outshines them all.- Purchased a Used car
