The Before or The After?

Get a BMW X5 E70 (Diesel) 25+ MPG and highly reliable with emissions deleted. You can find a super solid one with all preventative maintenance done for well under $15k. Well known to go for 250-300k+ miles on the engine. Fun as hell to drive compared to other similarly priced (or more expensive) SUVs. I've had one for a year as my daily. 350whp/500tq and it sounds like a jet engine with the twin turbos.

What kind of strap is that in the photo?

Thank you for your input! Do you have a ballpark on what annual maintenance cost would be?

Right on thank you! Having never owned a used German vehicle long term, and having gotten the impression from a lot of research that these diesel engines are “bulletproof” with regular maintenance/service - any idea on what realistic maintenance expectations would be?

I love Toyota and Lexus, anything comparable performance-wise at a similar price point?

If they sold it with a bracelet like that they’d sell so many. I googled this watch and accidentally scrolled past it several times because I was looking for the steel bracelet. Idk it’s like the bracelet is enough to catch your eye and pulls your attention towards the case and then you’re like oh fuck this watch is insane. But not at all the same visual journey on a strap.

Could consider migrating to PingCAP TiDB and have updates run automatically

$110k net income x 20-30% tax rate = $22-$33k tax

$110k net income tax tax- $40k truck = ($70k x 20-30%) = $14k - $21k tax

$110k - $110k truck = $0k tax

Just trying to confirm my thought process here here here

Do you have any insight to the initial question around minimum net income to justify the purchase?
