Whats the Best car u can get for 53 K$

Hi guys, i have been offered a wonderful opportunity to get a brand new car tax exempted.(In Egypt Car Taxes for Engines>2.0 is 200%)
i am gona sell my 320i Model 2007, and get something chunky
The thing is that it cant be a coupe (4*4 is an option) so i was wondering if you guys could help me out with this decision.
BMers, Porsche,Mercs,VW & Audi s . will be preffered as they have strong dealers around here.

Note: It can be a used car, but within the current year

Well if can't be a coupe, that pretty much takes Porsche out - unless you consider the base Cayenne, but then rather, get the diesel Tuareg instead-IMHO.

Otherwise, you can get a pretty decent deal I am sure on the x5, since the new one is coming (or better yet get the new one).

If sedan, get the 550-can't beat the V8 (not sure if meets your price barrier).

You should always have problems like this.

m3 coupe or z4 m coupe

Loaded 335i coupe is hot too!

But those are all coupes so I guess my ideas are no good to you

You say it CAN'T be a coupe? I'd say S4.

A6, 5-series or E-class. All in eight cylinders and you will be good.

Until now, the 5-series 550, porsche Cayenne S & The lexus 350 are all very appealing.
What else guys, what about the new X5, when will it be out??

That would be nice specially that i have just finished my call with Toyota Egypt to know that they dont provide Maintenance for Lexus.
So back to the BMer 335i , 5-series 530i ,Cayenne & the new X5.

A well optioned 335i would be my choice. Depending on how much they cost there you might have some money left over for modding.

I'd take the S4 over the IS350 anyday. Its way roomier, is as fast if not faster, and its got AWD (and an available 6MT for all you stick junkies). Whoever was talking about a Cayenne S and a 550i, please note the $53k range we're trying to stick under. The M45 sport sounds like a valid option. It depends on how much size you want. I'd pick between S4 and M45, still leaning toward the S4
