James, thanks for the advice, but my x5 4.4i is pushing 5 years and its time to let it go especially since residuals are falling sharply due to the launch of the new model. However, am i do the right thing by buying the 3.0 petrol when the turbo 3.0 is out shortly??? I am in a right fix at the moment with this x5 and the facelift 5 series (refer to my post on 5 series on south east asia).
BMW is driving me insane!!! Malaysia has the highest car taxes in the world bar none but cheapest and highest quality fuel! gotta love the irony  |
Well it depends, do you want a sedan or a SUV? That would certainly help you form your final decision.
I think it's never a wrong thing to invest in a BMW. Turbo or not, I don't think you're missing much from getting the 3.0i NA. Maybe get a test drive, and see how the power is for the 3.0i NA?
Well your irony is better than Singapore's complete sadness - highest car taxes, high fuel prices.
