75K worth of 40D M X5 Ordered

[Otaiba]

So the SO and I got bored of our 2 year old E70 LCI 40D M and that itch turned into a whole new car. Only regret I am having is whether I might as well have ticked off the Adaptive suspension... but then again I wasn't really expecting to buy a new car!

Sounds great bet you cant wait

Because of the Ruby Black.... eta 20th of May

So I'll milk the current one for all its worth

So let me get this straight.....you claim to be bored of a two year old car and then decide to spunk £75k on a newer hoping that what make life better!?!?

Surely the better option if money was the answer was to spend it on a different make because I can't see how upgrading the same car to a similar one was going to help

You could have got a very decent RRS or Cayenne for that money

[Otaiba]

Actually,

I prefer to only buy German. The Cayenne is a great car when you don't have two dogs to throw in the back and their paraphernalia when we tour in Europe.

And if there is still a problem believing I would be happy. So show you the current order form and the old one. The new one is more of addressing a few regrets I had when speccing the previous car.

EDIT: And not everyone likes Porsche or Land Rovers

If it makes you feel any better on the price paid, I have just ordered a new X5 M Sport 3.0D at a cost of 5,699,000 Thai baht - approx GBP 107,500!

[Otaiba]

Ouch!

Luxury Car import duty is a real pain in Thailand!  Hence the Japanese manufacturers being the majority two/four wheeled transport suppliers.  They don't get hit with that little (or not so little) tax charge.
