Why is a new car required?  :blink: surely your current X5 has many more miles left in it?

It will be three years old and I change at three years.

I have only completed 10,000 miles. I know it does not make sense, however I can so I will.

I have looked at the Porsche but it is some 60 bhp down on the 40d and more money.

I asked the question because I may have been missing something.

Fair enough, your money your choice :ok: Having only purchased 2 new BMW's out of 8 over the last 11 years or so (Only because the spec wasn't available in the UK on 1 and the new deal was better than used on the other) I would struggle to ever buy new. The depreciation is just mind blowing these days  :blink: and to chage after just 10k just seems crazy, sure the things not even run in :o

If you are keen on the X5 then wait for the new one. Pay to tax, insure and MOT your current one and wait.

All IMHO of course  ::)
