I have a relatively short stop and go commute that is much better suited to a hybrid rather than a diesel. I'm not going to debate someone who drives a X6M anyway. X6M owners are either foolishly rich, or just foolish. I hope its the former!

In other diesel news, the xDrive35d is the exact same base price as the new LCI F10 535d. A $3K+ Eco-credit would make these more appealing |

I have 4.2 NBT in my F10 and it could not take me to a local state park which is in existence for the last 50 years. BMW nav sucks. |

Has anyone priced a 535i xDrive lately? Or a 535i? The F15 prices are in the same range, even a bit less, and the 2013 F10 prices don't include nav, apps, etc.

Price seems like a modest jump considering my 11 x5 35i base with navigation and convenience was 56k

Ironic statement coming from someone who would spend thousands more for a hybrid to get a few miles per gallon better mileage. I have yet to see a hybrid that makes financial sense.

It's like comparing Apple and oranges imo.
The F15 are more premium and refined than the E70, as much as i like the latter. The price is justified imo. It should be a natural ML/Cayenne/LR competitor and priced around those cars.

Yep. I paid about 83k for my x5M. I will be buying it at lease end as there is no way I am paying that 100k plus that the new x5M is obviously going to cost. BMW price increases are just nuts. I may start looking at Porsche from here on out.

Now with the price increase. Why would anyone buy this over a Cayenne or new Range Rover Sport?
Guess the only reason would be the cheap-ass lease deals BMW has to move inventory. |

Are you trying to insult drivers who own X6M? For your stop and go short commute, get a bicycle Full-electric car may work as well Your Q7 hybrid will weigh additional 500lb on top of already-fat-5400Lb base model to save you 2-3mpg That would push Q7 to atleast 1000Lb difference with X5d Now lets see what's more fun to drive and gets better milage Last edited by AndreyATC; 06-25-2013 at 12:45 PM.. |

I don't think BMW is expecting to sell a lot of xdrive50 models, which is why they are charging a premium for them. I'm guessing most of their sales will come from the diesel model, and they are not too worried about losing sales of the xdrive50's.
I also don't think they will increase the price of the M's, since just as everyone else has pointed out, buyers would likely purchase a Cayenne or RR Sport instead. Hell, the new ML63 would be a better choice... So they are hoping that the $70k base price of the 50 will make people buy an M instead, since the price increase won't be as dramatic for the increased performance Last edited by xpl0sive; 06-25-2013 at 06:02 PM.. |
