Fair and square the X6M is faster than the new Cayenne, I reached 245kph until I had to brake hard, the Cayenne was not keeping the distance, honestly speaking the X6M is a beast!

A regular M3 coupe has a list price of $140K US dollars too....... I bought my X6M used from the owner of the dealership and got a great deal, almost half of list with just 12K kilometers |

How can the new Cayenne Turbo be cheaper than the X6M? They are way expensive here in the US....unless you are talking about the old body style 2011?

Here is how it works here, there is only 1 dealer per brand, he can have as many branches but the owner is just 1 company. Since our market is so small, dealers have to make a good profit in order to sustain the business, I know that in the US profits per car are much much lower than here. BMW is the #1 premium brand here, BMW change ownership just 4 years ago, they invested millions of dollars in infrastructure, and the results are starting to show up, you will have a BMW dealer close to you if you live in the East or West of San Jose with small repair shops too, if you need a bigger service, they will tow your car to the main dealership which is a huge facility in the middle of the east and west locations, for my own luck, I live within walking distance to the west dealership, so when I have to go for regular service, I walk back to my home, thats great for me at least. Porsche in the other end is the worst selling premium brand, the owner is the former BMW owner that put BMW here in bankrupcy 6 years ago.......I heard they sell less than 50 cars per year, mostly the new Cayennes Diesel, maybe a couple of Cayenne Turbo's and maybe 1 or 2 911's......service and parts are just a nightmare, he is running the business like he did with the old BMW dealership, and is heading in the same direction.....

It's insane how good the BMW SUVs in every way are relative to the Porsche badged SUVs . Yet the gold crest alone keeps commanding the $20k (or more) premium apples to apples....in the US anyway. Nobody ever complemented the Touareg's handling, and the Audi Q5, while very nice in many respects, isn't a great handling vehicle either. But as soon as you put a Porsche badge on them, give em a nice exhaust note and an odd name and voila - the worlds best handling SUVs or so they say. X6 is a beast, but beyond that an excellent riding car with great tech and interesting styling DRP |
