Anyone buy an X5 and not lease?

Looking to purchase a new or newer SUV and really like the X5. I am not really interested in leasing or financing. I have narrowed it down to the BMW X5 and Lexus RX350/h. I see that a lot of X5 drivers lease them and it seems it is because they are concerned about long term ownership costs and continued depreciation. I am looking to own for 5-8 years, maybe more. The reliability and mpg of the Lexus are attractive but it is smaller, slower and not as exciting.

Anyone here actually purchase one? Any regrets? Do you wish you purchased somehting else?
