Considering it's NYC, I'd say you're better off with the X5 over the X7 as trying to find street parking for the X7 is an exercise on futility. The 7 series could be a tempting offer If just for the $55 upgrade fee for EE's. A $1000 deposit for something that isn't even a Ferrari or Porsche 911 Turbo is absurd. Even Turó only charges $750.
