Starting to get second thoughts

I love speed... That needs to be said first before anything else...

Since I leased my last car I have done very well for myself. Thankfully, after a lot of hard work, I am able to afford a home for my fiance and I, and a new X6. I just placed an order on 50i with performance upgrade and all the options I wanted. Now, I sit here, thinking should I have just ordered the M instead? Would that have fit my wants better?

I got a very good deal on an '10.. over 5k off msrp. All said and done i got the car in at around $1050 a month with 0 down and ridiculous 8.875% tax all in that price. Which to me feels great and looks even better considering when I looked at a 35i about 7 months ago they quoted me a price of $1425 for a leftover with options I didn't even want.

I am looking over what an X6m would price out at and it is somewhere around 90k. There is no special offers right now for the X6m and I am somewhat sure the lease will not be very pleasing, but I can't help but wonder if I am gonna have the 50i and wish i had gotten an M.

Is there anyone out there that has made the switch to the M that can provide me with some insight?

In my humble opinion there is no place other than Germany (Auto Bauhn) and the track to really take advantage of an ///M.. the 5.0 sounds and feels amazing. I have not driven the M version but just giving you a quick idea..

So why didn't you buy the 530i instead of the M5?

It isn't that you are going to speed any more with the x6M over the X6 50...that thing is too fast already. I think if you are having second thoughts, you should change it now, or you will regret it whenver you get in the car. Sorry, i am one of those people that thinks you should go for it if it isn't going to make that much difference anyways.

I would say get what you want. Especially when leasing. Either way, you won't regret it.

Lease.. In my limited experience I don't like owning a car for longer than 3 years or so. I lease through my company and i get a limited write off. I know the arguments on both sides regarding leasing/buying and the associated tax ramifications. The lease requires much less up front and I don't look at cars as an asset since it depreciates and nothing will ever change that. If I didn't have the company I would probably finance the car and look towards owning it. But the only thing I am interested in buying is garbage trucks, not cars.

Yeah, it was a great deal on the lease and that is why I am weary of going towards the M. I appreciate everyone's input and I value it. Thank you to those that responded.

I think in either car when you put your foot down you will have more power than you can deal with unless you're on the track. Since I just buy cars can't comment on the lease stuff.

consider the deal u got! IMO it is a very good one, you may not get that kind of deal again especially on an x6M. Just something to think about. G/L
