06 X5 4.8is to 2011 3.0?

[rh71]

thought they got rid of 3.0 in 2011 for 35i? Turbo! Hey it makes a difference to someone like me.

I see 4.8is 0-60: 5.9sec while 35i: 6.4sec

Yeah the new 35 felt pretty damn quick when I drove it....almost at quick as my 4.8. But the soundtrack was like going from led zeppelin to def leopard! And even though a half second is so so irrelevant in a ridic heavy su(A)V....the mere idea of goin to 6.5 instead of 5.5 from lets say 6 flat pisses me off haha The more I think about it ...I am the asshole my family says I am hahaha Stereotypical American...obsessed with power and over indulging... but hey...we are paying serious bucks to drive this thing are we not? Might as well be able to put a frown on the face of morons in shitty imports and such haha

Even so...I have considered overlooking that issue haha There is a drop dead 2011 m3 alpine white loaded on my dealers lot right now and a 2010 x5m that has been sitting for nearly a year!! Temptation is burning me alive to make an offer! I have this feeling inside that I need something different to justify signing the high lease contract.

I bet the 550 could pull a sea-doo

Pull the trigger on 550 before 8/31 and get some discounts on top dealer discount. Waiting to see Dinan or JB tune 550.

Interesting...How does that work? I have heard in the past that it does not apply to those who are leasing. So if the 550 I desire is 69,900..properly equipped...will I be receiving a lease price that is fitting to a 64,400 msrp vehicle? Is there room for negotiation beyond that seeing as there should still be an 8% mark up? Last but not least, is this regional? I am in Western New York. Sounds too good to be true

it's a dealer incentive so it applies to a cap cost reduction/vehicle purchase price whether you are doing a lease or financing. This is on top of what they would normally discount.

Think of it as a reduction off invoice (for your own mental numbering) and subtract it from the usual "XXX over invoice" you would offer.
