I've had 4 X5's and the most recent was a 64 plate 4.0d M Sport. My Macan GTS blows it away in every department except space and I still cringe at the depreciation suffered by BMW cars right across the range They are even offering 0% finance on the M3 and M4 now which was something BMW never did previously.Sim_Nugget wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2018 9:48 pm I'm still here, don't post much but read quite a bit. Macan Turbo is almost 2 years old and still love it.
Hopefully another one in a year or so (facelift) but the wife suggested an X5

Yes I saw BMW were offering 0% finance on the M3 and M4 which was unheard of. They are also heavily discounting and this has had a big impact on residuals. I looked at the X3/X4 when I was looking to change and the Macan GTS was way better.MartinRS2K wrote: ↑Sat Jan 20, 2018 8:57 am

I’m trying my best to hold onto my Macan. Heavily specced it to keep for 3-4 years, so should really try and stick to that. It’s hard when there are other interesting cars out there to try too. Keep finding myself looking at RS6s and Sonoma Green RS4s!

I am in SUV style car because they are easier to get into/out of and driving position is better suited to me (I haven't had anywhere near as much back problems since switching) - while better seats may help, I was in a BMW 3 series for a few days while my last car was being repaired and there is just no way I can drive something that low for long periods - so I can't see me getting a 911 or similar.Col Lamb wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2018 12:33 pm Not all of us are moving into a 911.
In all honesty if I moved into a 911 of my own it would be a permanent move, I would be stuck in the thing, they are far to low for this old guy with a bad back and shot at hips.
Even the Macan is causing me problems as the seating is just so damn high off the ground I struggle to get out.
So my next car will not be a 911 or even a Porsche.

Space is the only reason we would not get another Macan - it's shocking how much space a baby uses with his paraphernalia.
I have an M2 so do like BMWs, but an X5 or X7 will be a money pit. I test drove a Velar which was nice but there were electrical problems with the internal systems and suspension which has put me off a TaTa. I also had a go in the diesel Bentaga - now that had a lively V8 burble but was too big and bling. And to top it off it had more squeaks and rattles than the Velar!
I think it could be another Macan or Cayenne. But I have to be honest I don't fancy a Turbo with white brake calipers

I am pretty certain there is more space in the Macan than the old A40 my parents used to have with three small children (though I doubt you have got 3 child seats in it) - it is like when I go away I don't have to think about what I really need now so tend to over pack and not necessarily spend any effort ensuring best fit.Sim_Nugget wrote: ↑Sat Jan 20, 2018 11:49 am Space is the only reason we would not get another Macan - it's shocking how much space a baby uses with his paraphernalia.

Always looking at those, but whilst lovely, I know that would be a big compromise given our family requirements. Was watching something on YouTube today and there was a video of a chalk 911 Turbo S which looked amazing.
