I just sold my Cayenne, and I am waiting for my ordered 35d to arrive next month. I had two BMW sedans before the Cayenne ('04 545i and 325i). Loved each of them & thought I'd always have at least one BMW in the garage. That plan was sidetracked for a few years when I fell for the appeal and prestige of the Porsche. The Cayenne is a good vehicle - certainly no complaints here. After a while though, I really started to miss the BMW feel. Everyone's tastes are different, but to me - each of my BMW's have had the 'just right' feeling. My new one will have a lot more power than the Cayenne, get a lot better gas mileage, have free maintenance, and qualify for a nice tax deduction for my business. It was an easy decision for me to make; though I wouldn't talk anyone out of a Cayenne.
