New 2012 X6 or 2008

I currently have the 08 335i X6 and my warranty is up in July. Should I chance not having a warranty for a couple years and keep driving it or just buy a new one?? Has anybody had or heard of any major problems with the 2008 X6. Any thoughts?? Thanks

This might help seem's like its the 09s that have some issues

go for the one with N55 engine on it, as less HPFP problems.

Great Thanks

If you keep your current car. why not purchase the BMW extended waranty for service and new car coverage? It should be avalible to you from your dealership?

Because the warrantys are $4000 so Im not sure if thats worth it or not??

The cost is a bit mcuh but, with my x5 and 100,000 miles i never paid for anything on that car...4 sets of breaks etc. It was worth every dollar. Will you drive the x 6 for several more years? If 3 to 4 it wold be wroth the 4,ooo!
