I can get an X3 for $5000.

The perception of wealth is not wealth, the people who are the problem have people to drive them.

Australia, and our dollar is worth less than yours. Theres 4 of them on Facebook marketplace right now for $5k within 50km of me. Around 08 models with relatively High kms.

Its not a status symbol its a low to mid range car.
