Thinking of selling the Cayenne S for the new E60 M5. any thoughts?

The Cayenne is a love and hate relationship, when driving it, the small minor problems sometimes just pisses me off, yet once I get out of the car and look at her, I love her to bits.

I wouldn't mind getting the 3rd generation Cayenne, or another 4wd when I have kids, but for now, the V10 M5 is very tempting.

 

GET THE M5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is no Comparison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

or u can get the new E63 AMG

 

nah, we have 2 mercs at home already, can do with one less.
Im getting married soon and think if the M5 can carry kids around as much as the Cayenne. You know, the boot can carry the baby car, bottles and whatever babies need.

 

If you wanna get killed get the M5.. lol j/k bro.. definitely get that

 

The Cayenne is tight and serves its purpose, but if you ask me which car I would take today, M5 hands down 1,000,000,000,000 times over.

 

If you need utility, there's no way the M5 can replace a Cayenne..
I will never trade a Cayenne, especially a Turbo for an M5.. never...
I drove an M5, it's ok...

 

Get the M5!

 

didnt u trade ur Cayenne Turbo initially for a Audi Q7 then ended up with an A4???


BD

 

yeah because i was buying a rental property, o i was downgrading,LOL
But i will never replace a CTT with an M5, if I cant have both, i'll go with a CTT jmho

 

I'm driving a Cayenne S at the moment.
So stick with S?

ANyone else have this love hate relationship with ur car?

 

Maybe a little bit. I am getting a cay s to replace my v6. But I would be lying if I said I didn't look at the 550i.... it's no m5, but you get the point.

That said, on a car VS car thing:
CS vs M5, m5 wins.
CTT-S vs M5, deffinetly CTT-S.

I just had my daughter (well a year and a half ago) and theres nothing better then an SUV. You won't be braking your back putting her in and out of her car seat.
And to store things in the trunk, for example the stroller.. I'm sure the cayenne will be so much softer on you. So taking that into consideration, I would even take my V6 over the M5. Trust me, I had an acura TL and it dosent matter how spacious it is, for a baby, an SUV all the way.

 

M5 long -I

 

I did think about the children issue and I know that a SUV would be a more practical solution. But we do not plan on having children for another 2 -3 years, and by then the new X5 and Cayenne would be on the market. In HK a 4wd is a bit impractical due to the narrow car parks etc. But I've always liked my cars to be able to carry a lot of luggage. The 5 series boot is quite spacious to my suprise. I might consider a smaller SUV for the wife later on down the road.

Even if we do have any earlier than expected we have a Toyota Alphard (7 seater MPV) that can more than happily ferry the baby around.

I guess im 95% set towards an Alpine white M5 with red interior :P
now to convince the future wife to be.

 

Negotiating the price is easy, convincing the wifey is the challenge

 

a lot easier than convincing parents
