Well, I went for an X5 M Sport. The 550i is gone. I need the extra utility soon and will be doing a lot of driving so I went for one off the dealers lot. It has every option I wanted except for 20 inch wheels. That will be an easy fix. The best art of the 50i is the power and the exhaust note. The worst part is the MPG returned when enjoying the best part.

 

beautiful looking x5...congrats...so glad bmw got it right with the x5 m sport pkg and decided to color match the wheel and bumper trims...

enjoy that tt v8

 

...go test drive the c63...you will be AMAZED!!!

 

did you not read post #11 made by the OP

 

That things needs a set of 20's or 21's. I love the 214's on my X, but I also like the 215's (21's) on poleposition's X. Congrats! Looks great!

 

Missed the update on this thread, congratulations Richard! Great looking X5...

 

I dont really like the new 5er. So I'm not gonna talk about it.

But if you want an SUV go for that sexy thing known as the X6, or you might consider an X6 or X5 ///M...umhahaha.

Wouldnt choose the ///M3 since you WILL miss the space and comfort (even though 3 series + ///M = jizz in pants)

or c63 is nice too.

 

you do know the OP already made his choice right...he posted a few posts back....

also: depending on your needs the x5 and x6 are 2 completely different cars...the x5 IMO is more of an SUV while the X6 is an SAV.....the x6 is a 4 seater, less cargo space, and costs more....now the 2011 X5 models have the same engine as the X6 models...so it all comes down to aesthetics and personal needs/preference (as any other choice)

same thing with the M3, depends on your wants and needs...I'd take an M3 sedan over a C63 all day anyday tho....


BTW: your sig is too small....

 

of course i would take an M3 over a c63 any day..haha.

between the X5 and X6, is there really a big noticeable cargo or trunk space difference?

 

Not a huge difference by the numbers with the rear seats down but with the rear seats up, the X6 isn't much more than a sedan trunk.
