Still haven't made up my mind on my car change but my wife seems to have come to a conclusion! An X5 - it will be AUC as contract hires are much more than the GTs and base(ish) model F11s.
The F11s I was debating last week went nowhere, Cooper Cobham were such complete ***** that I won't be putting business their way and the other one has gone (and you all rightly put me off the business nav). My wife feels strongly that she wants more of a change than e61 to F11.
She is right that the space will be useful with two dogs and two kids but moreover third row seating would be a good option. I also drive to the Alps for snowboarding from time to time so an advantage to the AWD but I have never really wanted to make a car purchasing decision based on that.
So I reckon if we go X5 it needs to have media pack, panoramic, third row. Any other must have options?
And my big question is the M sport worth it over the SE? The m sport packages really seem to hold their value, which obviously is both good and bad.
There aren't many options with panoramic and third row. Any thoughts on these cars or in general X5s around this price point? Is 2007 (the first one) too old?:
