Porsche Cayenne Vs BMW X5
I have no set agenda but just want to discuss and compare the Cayenne and the X5. What made you choose the X over the Cayenne and how are the technologies and features compare? like the X-drive vs PTM (Porsche Traction Management all wheel drive system), the Porsche air suspension vs double wishbone + integral IV in terms of handling and comfort, reliability, milage, optional packages and so on. With both having 6 cylinder, 8 cyliner and the X5 M version coming up, i think it's pretty obvious that the Cayenne is the closest thing to the X5 (or vice versa). Considering the amount of high quality professional  discussions in this forum, i think I'll get some real good analyses. I know it's been discussed before but I'd like to discuss the technical side of things.  Have an awesome week everyone and thanks!

IMO, the Cayenne is getting pretty dated. Personally I liked the interior of the X5 over the Cayenne and X5's rear legroom was roomier than the Cayenne.
I believe that the Cayenne has a double wishbone suspension setup at the front, just like the X5 but has an optional air suspension to smooth out the ride and be more fit for off-road. Also note that the Cayenne is heavier than the X5. So the base engine of the Cayenne is slower than the 3.0is of the X5 in a 0-100km sprint.

There are more than a few threads discussing the Porsche vs BMW. Just search around a bit for really detailed compos.
Real quick search yielded these: http://www.xoutpost.com/x6-e71-e72-fo...ht=Porsche+BMW http://www.xoutpost.com/x6-e71-e72-fo...ht=Porsche+BMW http://www.xoutpost.com/x6-e71-e72-fo...ht=Porsche+BMW http://www.xoutpost.com/lounge/46276-...ht=Porsche+BMW As for shooting from the hip, Porsche lovers..will love the Porsche. The Cayanne S is the closest thing Porsche has to a 4.4 or better X5. Really, a lot of their respective technology is a dead heat. At least in past models.

Yeah, me too...setting all technical comparisons asides, I have never fully grown used to the idea of a Porsche SUV (or the looks). The Cayenne is just a spiffed up VW Touareg. The interior of the Cayenne is very dated, with tons of cheap, little plastic buttons. Also, I have known quite a few Cayenne owners, and while the SUV actually handles beautifully, there are a ton of rattles and a lot of electrical issues (not that the E70 is perfect). I think the E70 and the new ML are just the best looking SUVs on the road. Love the looks of the Range Rover HSE, but cannot get over it's reliability ratings. They are the lowest of ALL makes sold in the USA!

I had a 2004 Cayenne S before my E70 and here are some of the areas the BMW outshines the Porsche IMO.
In my order of preference. 1. Interior; the porsche is an ergonomic nightmare. 2. Maintenance; be prepared to shell out some serious cash to keep the pepper healthy. 3. looks; That one is obvious although the GTS looks pretty good.
