Well, guys me lease is up on Nov. 12th and the 550 is going back. I was going to get an 05-06 X5 but since my local dealer got sold, I wasn't able to make the right deal...(what a bunch of idiots..15+ customers sent to them in 2 years by me). So I recently purchased a Certified 05 Porsche Cayenne S. I hate to say it but it drives and handles much better than the 05-06 X5. I also like the fact that it's not seen at every stop light. Just typing this post makes me very sad, because these forums have been like a second home to me...TRUST ME there are no other forums out there that have such a Great mix of people!!! You guys are knowledgeable, respectful, and straight forward!!! Although I wasn't able to make more than one meet in the past 3.5 years I will miss them. I will still be checking here from time to time just to see how everyone is doing. Im thinking in about 1.5 years to get an 07 M5 and pass the Cayenne to my wife, but right now I need to be able to get to work in the snow etc...Again keep up the great work...

PS: I just ordered the Sprint Booster for the Cayenne...Those guys have no idea!!!

Bill! and don't be a stranger with that Cayenne S.

I finally convinced the wife out of her Audi A4.
The Cayenne and an E61 are our options right now

I agree with you - this is by far the best forum in the world. If there was some statistics like closure of threads per day, then this forum would be in lead by miles. I will miss tthe guys here as well when i move on in the next few weeks..

good luck to you Bill..

Take care Bill and congrats on the Cayenne!

Don't be a stranger buddy. We still expect to see you at a meet, one of these days.
