Given the choice of those two I'd take the pepper all day long. Better built, more reliable, better longevity. The coolant pipes are the only big issue and the were fixed permanently from 2008 on. I had a 2009 GTS with 75k that was a fantastic SUV. By that point an X5 is falling apart inside and out.
Our 2006 has been an amazing car. Bought with 30k miles in 2009 and now has 115. It is as solid as the day we drove it home.

The brakes are the easiest brake job I have ever done. Hands down. Got the pads and rotors on line for a fraction of the cost from the dealer.

They are so inexpensive I can hardly believe it. I can't think of more car for less money.
