Its a heck of a lot cheaper than the 8. Is that why you bought it??

Well, not really..my major reason for getting the 6 was because anything ordered was running about 3-4 months, and I couldn't wait that long, and I got mine off of a cancellation of someone else..

but im very happy with the 6..

That makes sense.
Personally, I would have gotten a 540 wagon or an Audi, but its your choice.

i'd rather get the Audi All-Road than the A6 wagon..... the all-road is basically a beefed up wagon, it also has air suspension, so you can lower and higher the car

Teh Allroad
i would recommend to people who buy SUV's for going on a snady beach or over a very rough cottage trail which is more like a foot path. You dont need 33 inch tires and 10 inches of ground clearance for that. For serious off-roaders, they buy old trucks and bolt on 44 inch boggers, lockers, lift kits. People who tow buy trucks or Yukons. So I'm fundamentally oposed to the X5, but it is the best SUV out there for people who buy them but dont need them. Too bad its so heavy.

Actually, I'd have to disagree. My main reasons for buying one for the extra space (more than a car), yet the performance close to that of car. The X5 has been perfect for me because its not a truck, and doesnt behave like a truck, yet I can haul my furniture, and most importantly, my dog in the back.

If I bought a 540, I would never let my dog sit in the back seat since she would scratch the leather seats. I could put her in a cage on the seat, but I don't cage her, and that seems pointless to me.

With my X5, she can roam around the cargo area, and sit, sleep, look out the window, whatever without harming the cars interior. Yet at the same time, I can drive 110mph from boston to ny.

Also, I used my X5 recently for moving my stuff from one city to another, and granted it was done over multiple trips since I wasn't moving all at once, it really came in handy that I was able to put 8 rubbermaid bins, 27" tv, my bike, small bookcases, tv stands, etc (not all at once) in the back with the seats down.

So for me, the X5 has been the best of both worlds. And yes, my dog is worth it for me to spend the $$$ for an X5 (incase you were thinking that ..

we weren't talkin about a 540 sedan.... we were talkin about the 540 wagon

I wouldnt want to buy a huge american wagon with fake wood on the sides, but a Europeon wagon would be great. In Europe, wagons are very popular because they are very handy (The 540 has almost as much room as the X5), and they behave like cars. And I have already said things comparing the X5 to the 540, so I wont do it again.

At least you didnt buy an Excursion

the only thing about buyin a wagon, like a 540 wagon, or Audi A6 wagon, or Volvo V70... is that you won't be able to pick up girls at all, cause it'll look like you're married. Like what single people have you seen drivin a wagon?! it's nice, if you're married.... with a family
