Well you are so get to work . You were in the perfect situation to get the ///M but chose other wise. Now everyones situation is different, but this is a good spot for a woman with the same passion as this group has, to chime in with some reason. Now don't get me wrong fellas, at the end of the day if you get the ///M, I'll be here cheering and looking for pictures and reviews. You guys posted for advice and help....I just think the timing is bad in both cases........now this is where you pick up L .......Phil

In all fairness, my situation was different. I chose not to get the ///M from a practical standpoint. The biggest issue for me was the wheels. Those bad boys won't fit in the track at the carwash. Plus I figure nothing good can come from me having 550 hp. I decided just because I could, didn't mean I should. It also helped that I refused to test drive it.

I personally think the other posters are nuts to get upside down trying to get out of a lease or taking a huge hit selling a year old X just to have it now. But that's just me. I'm a girl, I don't share the issues guys have with needing the biggest one out there

I'll admit I wanted to get the first X6 off the line when my lease was up in 2008 but the timing didn't work. The 50i wasn't yet released and my options were slim. I couldn't extend that long and the cost to re-lease my E53 for one year was ridiculous. I leased my E70 for 2 years as a bridge car to get me to the 50i X6. I'm glad I waited, the X6 now has a performance upgrade that takes me from 400 to 440 horses. I would have missed that.

I'm not sure about these guys current status...but some women want the guy with the biggest one out there . Hopefully that's not part of their motivation for considering a financial bath......Phil

Hey Phil,

You neglected to mention that you had the same thoughts as these guys after you test drove it....

Yeah but I never considered taking a financial bath. I've got 15 months on my current lease so I wont budge til then.

Awesome! That's exactly it Being the baddest one out there. But alas it is quite fiscally irresponsible to fork out the $, especially when I'm upside down.

Either way, I've always seen cars like vacations. You never get anything back from it except enjoyment. I trust me I do really enjoy them. I've already taken a "vacation" (new car) this last June, another one just four months later would be a tad excessive.

Anyways, thanks for sobering me up. Love the x5, both 4.8 and M, but the M will have to wait its turn.

Put this in the history books. It's the first and last time I'll be the voice of reason. If you had less than a year to go, I'd be pushing you right over the edge.
