F15 X5 Vs Cayenne
My point is that we are taking into account peformance as well as appearance. After my research this weekend, i can tell you that the suspension on the MSport out performs the Porsche, even loaded up with the PASM. Not sure if the Turbo is any differant but that puts me out of the price range. This takes the Cayenne off my list and i will reconsider the F15 once it arrives. Hope this helps people when considering this comparison.

We own two X5s- a 2008 4.8 and a new (2012) Diesel. Both have the sport suspension- or in the diesel's case 20 inch wheels. I drove comparative Cayennes before buying both and while I thought the handling was a toss up (I actually gave the Cayenne a slight edge- it felt more tossable IMO) the value for the $ clearly favored the X5.
We'll be buying a new SUV to replace the older X5 this Winter. While I'll reserve judgment I'm not impressed by the looks. And if the spare isn't available BMW has lost me. I just replaced the front run flats on the diesel- at 7,000 miles (fortunately BMW paid- but I had to pay for the alignment- even though the car was clearly misaligned at the factory). And a flat tire (which happened on the old one) renders the tire unusable. The old X now runs on non run flats and they're significantly quieter and provide much better handling -especially in the wet. Read this BMW- NO SPARE NO SALE. PERIOD. And I've owned BMWs since 1998- X5s since 2001. But there are other choices. Range Rover, Porsche, Mercedes and others all have spare tires. But I've seen a gradual erosion in what BMW provides for the money (try to find on a 2012, for example, the bag hooks and straps in the cargo area that were on the 2008), the run flats suck and I don't want an Excursion sized X5. |

Well i decided not to go with a F15. BMW offered me a sweet deal on an E70 Msport 5.0 loaded with the M performance package. The exhaust note is awesome.
