Hi guy's

As some of you might know that my lease was up on my 2002 C230 end of this month. I have an friend who works at BMW which got me into a Nice X5 this weekend. Good addition to our family.

They took my c230 off my hands and gave me $1000 cash on it. I also got my security deposit back from MB towards the BMW.

The BMW X5 i bought is an Black 2005 4.4i. There is also free service on it for 3 years which was great. I will take delivery of it next week. Will try to post some pics. for you guy's.

I bet the Wife and the kids will have this car more than i will drive. So maybe then i can buy the new 2005 SLK 350


Cheers,

 

You couldv'e saved $20K and got a "DaimlerChrysler-family" all-wheel drive, 340HP Hemi powered, Dodge Magnum RT w/ more cargo space, better gas mileage, longer drivetrain warranty and a more unique "look"

 

Agreed, though the 4.4l X5 is very nice. Congrat's Iceman!

 

good selection, THANK GOD you DIDN'T pick up the X3

 

Thank's infinite,

Actually i looked at the X3 also. I test drove the X3 3.0i 6spd with 220HP and it was pretty quick. Car was not that bad as some people think. I drove it here in Calgary which now we have 10" of snow out side on the roads and the X3 with x-drive system performed really good. The only reason i did not go with the X3 was the Looks.(Wife was not too crazy the way it looked) Other than that i would recommend it.

Why a BMW. Are we too lose you to another forum?

 

awww, well enjoy your BMW. I'm stuck here with a new Mazda3s in the drive way since my accident in November.

 

Iceman, the X5 is a fine vehicle with the only real competition being Porsche and Volkswagen. Good luck and keep looking at those SLKs

The Magnum is a good buy as well, but not in the same category.

 

X5's are hot! good choice

 

between x5, RX, ML.. who wouldnt pick X5??
but do get the SLK55
or the SL55 dat ll be better.
