The turbo is over 100k though.

But the S will be a bit of a let down compared to the M. If you can get such a good deal on the flagship model from BMW, why get a middle of the range Porsche? Once the new car novelty wears off, you’ll wish you got the M. If it was me, I’d get the M, then look at the Cayenne in a year or two, once they are offering discounts. Or save more and get the Turbo! :))

Congratulations you will love it.

I am on my second X6M and love it.

Average around town 18 MPG on a run down south I once got an average of 26 MPG.
The best advice I can give is if you are going to use it in the winter and you get snow regularly like us poor northerners invest in the BMW X5M winter wheel and tyre package. It transforms the handling and ability in the snow. They are expensive but well worth the outlay in my opinion, they come already fitted with new TPM sensors so its an easy swop. I put my winter wheels on on November 1st and swop them over towards the end of March.
Enjoy your new motor.

Great spec and it will look great - I really wanted red in my 50d but that's only available on the X5M  :(

Shame funky adaptive cruise (or whatever it's called) can't be spec'd, it's a really good feature I use quite a lot.
