Thanks all for your input. I in no way need this to be a "fits all" car. I will be using it as a daily and family hauler on long trips. I have multiple cars already with unique use cases for each (997 Turbo, Alfa Romeo Spyder, LR3 overland build,etc). If I keep the 550i... my wife will lose her mind as we are running out of space at our house.

I think I will certainly test drive both... just measuring up some value comparisons.

I can do a 2018 GLS 550 very cost effectively - a bit dated, but ticks all the boxes sub $60k.

Go up to $70s and get CPO 2018 GLS 63AMG or 2019/20 CPO X7 base.

I'm not in the monthly budget crowd but trying to be sensible with a specific use case car. I normally lose my mind over passion cars like the GT3 I'm getting here next month replacing my Turbo (which is the reason for a new family car to keep everyone happy).
