What are your other rides besides m8 and 8 series ???

BMW Lunatic · 03-02-2021, 01:10 PM

After selling my cayenne GTS last month . I have been hunting like a mad man / lunatic that I am looking for a nice fast daily driver something I can drive cross country which is safer/ spacious/ comfortable and fast .

I test drove 2016-2018 x5m and x6m almost pulled the trigger on a 2017. But decided to keep my search on until few days ago I got directed to a very heavy optioned 2017 GLE 63 S coupe with B&O ( which apparently are rare on these amgs ) got a nice certified one with only 31k miles for 69k .

Getting it shipped next week .
Any one here have experienced driving these ? The specs are incredible 577 hp 0-60 3.8 secs stock . Some pics dealer sent me . Cannot wait it will go straight to my mod guy - full ceramic spacers and might lower it not sure yet .

I also think it will compliment my summer ride m8 cab well

Well, I don't have a new 8 series, does the old one count?

My 850i has been my summer car for the last 15 years,
Then I have the M5 as the practical and fun car.
I bought the i3s in November last year as an office commuter, running errands and winter driver.
And the Diavel is just for fun.

All 4 of them just squeezes into my garage

I think your 8 is probably almost worth 100k .
Beautiful garage and nice fleet of rides !

interesting some have another coupe as a daily

Imola red is the best Noggie , I miss my Imola F80. Maybe I’ll order Imola for the next one.

Unfortunately mine is the "regular" 850i, the Csi see prices around 100k these days.
Mine is probably not even worth half of that, but it's worth more than what I paid for it and appreciate every year.

It is, I was quite surprised that BMW used an Imola red car when launching their M5 LCI last year, that color has been around for 25 years now.

I had no plan buying such an "old" M5 two years ago, but when this car came up I just had to have it.
Only 14 F10 M5's were ever made in Imola red.
Mine also have Melbourne red interior contrast stitching and alcantara headliner, only thing I would have done different is Piano Black trim.

On the fence if I should get a new 8 or the new M5 LCI next, but the color combo will be similar as this M5, outside and inside.

That is beautiful, especially with the contrast stitching. Love it.

Here's my Cayenne GTS nicely optioned and specd it's my daily even though I've been working remote for the past 8 years. I'm contemplating of selling it and getting a x4m comp . Thoughts ?

So thinking about a GTS (or other Cayenne) for my wife's DD. Also thinking about X6M and a 745e (tax credits!). How do you like the GTS? Do you mind sharing your monthly lease/finance payment? The 745e is the most economical but I'll also drive her car somewhat frequently so the gas bill for our X5MC doesn't put us in the poor house.

I bought it thru my corporation so no lease (it was lightly used at 1700 miles).

Teaser:

Is it better to purchase used for the tax benefits? I'm a FL atty and need some deductions due to an income bump from a new client.

Im not an accountant --- your CPA will know.

I bought used because of the deal I found exclusive of any tax benefits I may or may not have benefited from.

Hey Lunatic just curious why you did not just get a newer Cayenne.

Budget pricing etc.

Cayenne GTS is not as fast as a X6m or a GLE 63 S coupe .

The amg is just wow . I just got it as a daily driver for what I wanted more raw power nicer looking truck and a safe automobile for long distance travel it checked all the boxes for me .
