News an comments for German 4.6is Version ! (archive)

Well, I got�a admit I�m really dissapointed by what BMW is doing here.
Anyway, here is the pricing list oktober 2001 for Germany:
X5 4.6is : 150.598,91 DM or 77.000 Euro (gulp!)
(ok...ok...but there sure is a lot of equipment included, or?.. let�s see...)
Areodynamic-Paket, Airbags all around (6), Thief warning, ABS, CBC, Arm rest moveable, interiour light, Mirrors heated moveable retracktable dimming, outside temperature,... and so on and on...

It�s easier the other way around...
It will not have included (without extra price):
Alu-Steps, reling, wood, moonroof, clima-comfort-glass, fond-climate, retrack.floor, navi (!! yes, NO navi), PDC, hifi prof., better radio (only standart), Tire pressure warning, seat heating back, electr.back seat, ski sack, dark glass, speech steering, phone

If it had at least the navi also included for that price, I�d say I would keep my order... but I would have to wait for at least a year from now on...

I�m really considering the 2002 ML55 with the facelift again now... it has nearly a liter more engine volume and much much much more tuning potential... for 10.000 DM I can get a ML55 with 405 Hp and stiffer suspension, no problem at all... even at my local MB-Dealer. Looks like MB is winning the race for my next car now. Since these SAV/SUV�s aren�t made for racing anyway, I prefer to have at least a lot of power. (Isn�t the ML not even lighter than the X5 ??..)

I gotta think a lot about this, cause I�d like to have a little money left for a little red racer, if I find the right one...

But we�re going to keep our status quo with BMW, as it seems :
cars : only MB
bikes: only BMW (even my new Mountainbike is a BMW ;-) )
