To be honest with you...I think someone who doesn't have as much $$ as you would appreciate your M5 a whole lot more.

Next time try comparing 2 cars in the same class.

Yeah, two different machines. Why not just get rid of the two 5's and get the Cayenne?

BTW, can I borrow your 911tt?

i only have 1 "5" and its the 03 M5...im getting rid of it for the cayenne turbo just getting input from others that have possibley done/considered this....has nothing to do with $$ sorry if it came off like that....and obvioulsy i DO appreciate the bmw product as evidenced by how many ive owned over the past 7 years!

Oh, I thought you said you HAVE two 5's, not HAD. My mistake.

I guess the Cayenne would be a nice counterpart to the 911. You already have the sporty fast car, now you need some more utility. Go for it, although I think the M5 and 911TT is the best garage combination for under 200k.

I would stick with the M5. The Cayenne is a cool rig indeed, but I think it would never fulfill the role the M5 plays. I dont know how the beast plays into your life, but IMHO I would keep one of the best cars ever made.
