The X5 4.6 or 330 Cab???


Hi Guys!

Well just been to the dealers yesterday to see if the 330 cab is ready for my mum...
Well what do we see there?! A superb X5 4.6is!!
We (me and my dad) had already see one before but never really thought about owning one.

So here's our prob. Should we get the ultimate X5 4.6 or the beautiful 330Cab with sports package for my mom??

It will be a daily driver and driven by me and my sister aswell.

Another thing of consideration would be consumption because gas overhere is very expensive...

so pls let me hear you opinion.

Thanks a lot

P.s I remember reading a post about a meet with lots of X5 pics but can't find it.

cheers

Man, we are comparing apple and orange here. Unless you have specific need for SUV, I would opt for a convertible.

I also voted for the X5 4.6 is. It will be more expensive but it is more pratical and practically a sports car in an SUV. Personally I don't care much for convertibles. In the sunny south it can be just too hot to have the top down. In a colder climate, how many times could you actually enjoy the top down. Either car would be a nice choice and it comes down to what you (or the principle driver) wants and comfortably affords.
