I must concur. As a former Acura and Honda owner, I must say that Honda MoCo has the value and utility equation dead to balls. Sadly, they are BORING beyond imagination. At least Lexus can bore me with silence and quality but not Honda/Acura.
 
I learned (never too late) that being saddled with a boring but handy vehicle that saved me a buck is not worth it. Unless you just start your car and simply drive to where you need to go with no other concern, get the Bimmer.

We went through similar analysis and have ended up ordering the X5 (also Alpine White/Cinnamon) -- can't wait to get it. I have loved my prior two MDXs but just couldn't bare the thought of getting yet another one (imho no other SUVs came close to these two in offering what we wanted at a price we were willing to pay. Also, the new MDXs just didn't have the same luxurious feel that the older models had; the BMW just seems more solid... and fun! I was ready for a change to the sportier ride. We're skipping the third row this time (both MDX and X5 have made them too small to help us out too much these days). Having said all that the MDX priced out about 12000 less and it is still a great car. Perhaps if I hadn't already owned those for the last 10 years.... Good luck.

CORRECTION: I forgot that we also ordered the 3 pkg's: Cold-Weather+Tech+Convenience ...I guess I thought there were part of the "Premium". I was also considering the "Keyless entry" but my wife didn't care for it - too magical for her ...plus its another Grand.

bimmervoy - Is the signature loan available through BMW or you had to go through a CU/Bank? Looks like a great alternative to leasing.
 
Thanks!

#1553 of 2444 The wrong message! by 18181818

I finalized a negotiated price of $52,800 without the $4500.00 Credit Option and got the message that is below. Was that right? Do I still have the right to dispute this though it via e-mail? No papers were signed only the price was negotiated via e-mail. I had this experience with two dealer in New Jersey.

#1554 of 2444 X5d vs X5 by sjthomas

Jul 02, 2010 (7:37 am)

I am shopping around for X5 as well. Not sure if I want to order diesel or gasoline.
 
Even though diesel is expensive, hopefully the extra miles it gives will compensate it but my main concern is the engine sound. How quiet is the diesel when compared to gasoline? I am sure it will be noisier but how bad is it? I have a smaller 2003 3 series and I love it. I am assuming I can expect the same amount of fun in a bigger and newer 2011 X5. Any comments?
 
I seriously considered MDX with a "value" proposition but I think after driving my 325 for about 5 years, I don't want to try another make.
 
Thanks in advance.

I love my X5d.
 
From the inside there is essentially no noise difference, particularly since you get 425ft.lbs of torque and do not need to rev the engine so there is less noise if briskly accelerating.
 
From the outside there is more noise from the diesel. A gentle clatter but never objectionable. I do not drive from outside the vehicle in any case!

Hey 00boxsters,
Thanks for the reply. Any comments on the mpg of diesel?
