Nice!
the 2010 6.2
5.5 was a bit out of my price range as a new car
very nice… how did the M5 do for resale with 100k on it?
You couldn’t fit a family of three into your M5?
We fit our family of 3 and all our stuff into a 911 for road trips (6 hrs+)
We fit our new family of 4 and all our stuff into a Mk IV Jetta
you must have a lot of stuff?
Triathlon bike+ equipment + baby stroller + luggage for 3 was a tight fit…
Made the same choice myself.
Jesus christ. You have a lot of stuff!
We never used a stroller (got a sling instead) and I don’t ride bicycles because I own a car.
I’m guessing the X5M is far more useful for you.
Does it also tow?
this.
i got 20k for the trade in… I probably could have sold it for ~ 23-24k. But the sales tax savings for trading it in made it worthwhile to just let it go… since i only could have potentially netted ~ 1500-2k more by selling it private.
i should have held out for more, but i wasn’t in a power position to negotiate since they had not seen the car in person, and i beat them up pretty good on the price of the truck
But i did take off the Corsa Exhaust from the M5, so i will be selling that as well as some other spare parts i have ( spare smg parts and a roof rack)
makes sense.
next question: which gets better MPGs 
so far the edge goes to the x5… but probably only becasue i drive much more sane with it, and it has torque to keep in the lower RPM… the M5, i was always ringing it out because it sounded so nice…
I averaged ~ 14-15 mixed with the m5… so far im sitting at ~ 15.8 with the x5 after 3 days of mixed driving.
highway though the m5 got 19-20 whereas the x5 got 16.2 on my drive back from phili (there were some WOT sessions however that skud that result a bit)
Very cool.
Wow that’s nice
Nice man!
:tup:
Love it.
Very nice, is this the same X5M i always see pulling out of the subdivision across from YOLO on transit near the day care?
these are awesome and i didnt know it was so fast with those numbers on just a tune. You’ve gotta be able to do 1 or 2 more things to crack 11’s which is just silly in something like that.
i drove an X6M a couple weeks back and it was pretty intense as well.
btw, my cousin up here in Canada is a regular importer of BMW’s and does them wholesale out of Chicago on the regular. If you guys are not trading in against a newish BMW he might be able to broker a few thousand in savings for you since he wouldnt have to bring it over the border.
I use the daycare on transit, but I rarely go the back way in/out… Usually down transit… Mine is the only carbon black one I’ve seen locally sofar… There is a silver one I see a bunch and a black sapphire one on 19" snow tires which are too small
I’ve got winters on my stockers and they work great.
