It sounds like you are trying to convince yourself that you got the right car.

Penguin, I'm not trying to convince myself that I got the right car. I waited two years for the diesel. I would have purchased the 4.8 over the 3.0
if I hadn't waited for the diesel...

I guess they want to keep it exclusive to the X6. I really think the X6 is ugly, but that's my opinion...

My mistake, I confused your post with another.


P.S. I deleted that message of mine.

You got 3k below INVOICE?!?!?!

Loved the exhaust note, didn't like the price difference for what I needed. Would rather spend $10k elsewhere... like worthwhile addons and... my newborns (what timing eh?).

I've got a kid on the way as well!!! Congrats!!!

Well it was not difficult, there were a lot of those deals last year when BMW was giving away the Premium Pkg for free, I can post the image of the final invoice/sales agreement out here when I get a chance.

I've never changed my mind on a car before. But when i had the 3.0 on Order...and then drove the 4.8...I couldn't get that sound out of my head...and I HAD to change it. It ruined the 3.0 for me....

Then the premium package would come off of the invoice number(the true amount that the dealer paid). I think the Deisels are going for more than 1k over invoice now as well.
