BMW X5 2000 E53
Good everyday car, quite roomy and comfortable. The 3.0D is completely sufficient for everyday use - from point A to point B, towing a trailer, overtaking on the highway, etc. If you get a car with a 10 +1 speaker audio system then good music, if there is a comfort salon then very comfortable chairs, good lights (xenon in good condition). I was impressed by the low fuel consumption.

Cons: Door handles that freeze and frost on frost in winter. Thresholds that look nice, but always get you dirty when stepping out of the car. Climate control buttons made of strange plastic and constantly breaking.
