Cool Big Pimpin'

So the other day my bf asked if I felt like a pimp driving the X. I said no not anymore, but talk to me when I get my 650i.

So this led me to think about the eternal question, do people buy cars for looks or performance. I know this has been debated ad nauseum, but wanted to ask: What made you decide on your X5/3?

For me, it was first a BMW. I have always loved a bimmer for their craftmanship, design, and performance. So that was a no brainer. Next I chose the X5 because 1. I loved the way it looked, and 2. It drove like a dream while having the space I wanted.

It's relable, holds 5 people comfortably, along with luggage...and the 4.6is makes me not want to kill myself as much for driving an SUV because at least it handels and performs somewhat like a sports car overall a decently acceptable work vehicle.

i bought mine based on both performance and looks. i don't know of too many
people that will settle on anything if they aren't the least bit attracted to it.

And the X5 is assembled in _________ ? I kind of know what you mean though.

My dad picked the X3 because he got a great deal from a dealer and thought it was "more car for the money" than a 325i

A Jeep Cherokee is also built in the US, is that a fair comparison?? I think not
