Need some help.......x5/x6 or

Hi all

I am new to the forum, great site!

I am a BMW driver, a happy owner.

But, I have a Z4, and need some more seats.
So, I am now looking at a X5/X6, finding the X3 to be a bit to firm on high way driving.

But, my wife is asking for a Porsche Cayenne. Well, I do not find it that bad..but, how are they, when driving them side by side with a X5/X6? Comfort on the long drives?

That is what I seek, to be driving long trips, and getting out of the car in comfort.
Also, I think the BMW maybe be cheaper to run and service...but not sure.

All help is good for me.

Thanks for looking

I drove an x5 35d,a porsche cayenne s and a x6 35i!!
I didn't like so much to drive the porsche!!It didn't feel so fast as i expected and i didn' like the interior either!!
X5 and x6 are better options in my opinion!!
X6 has a great handelling!!

Hi

Hi and thanks for the reply

Well, some say the Porsche is just a VW with some $$ used on the styling....I do not know, but the interior is a bit out there...How was the seating comfort?

You had more funn and comfort in the X5/X6? How was the back seat of the X6? To low roof line on long trips?

Hi hi

Thanks

Yes, maybe your right....the x5/x6 is made of a good car maker.

Just find a ad of a 2008 X5, will go and try/look at it tomorrow.

I suggest you also look at the Audi Q5. You'll get the space you need,in a reasonable price too.It may not be as big or "cool" as the X5,but the technology in that car is amazing.Seats are comfortable and a good choice of engine options too.I prefer the looks of a Q5 any day to a X5.Its just the perfect car if you need more space than a Z4 but dont need too much space like a X5.I suggest you try it out,take a test drive,see a few pics and think about the money difference.I too was going to by the X5 but then went in for the Q5 as it saves on money,has better technology and has a wide variety of options and engine enhancements
Best of Luck!!!

Same Dilemma. I bought an M3 last spring and now the wife wants a BMW so we went to the dealer. All along the way she wanted an X6 until today when she (and I) drove the X5 35d diesel side by side with the X6....

No more thinking about it - THIS is the one. Amazing car. Fast as heck and quiet. I recommend the X5 35d diesel. It's fantastic.

(Audi Q5 is a silly little thing IMO)
