Cayenne Turbo vs X5/6 M
#21
The bimmer is faster??? Don't think so. They are equally fast ass SUVs. IMO it comes down to appreciating the Porsche enough to justify the extra price.

Recently was considering trading in my CTT for a bently CGT speed or brand new CGT with the new amenities and improved techno amenities. After driving them both back to back, I left there more appreciative of my CTT. Thus I am glad that I did not make the trade. Also drove the X5M before I got the CTT and was not impressed, and thought it looked really plain compared to a X5 5.0
As I said before you will pay $30k more on average but you will get that much better of a car IMO.

on youtube i see a lot of X5/X6 M with 650/700hp and 0 cay turbo with mod, only exhaust..
is the bmw easier to mod?
and i have another doubt.. there is the possibility of a cay TT S ? I don't want to buy a CTT and after Porsche release TTS..

yes the CTTS will be out towards the end of 2012. But why wait? It has Turbo's.... anyone can flash the damn thing.... and get all the power!

I recall from beating on the X5/6M is that the brakes were terrible... I beat on the pretty hard around barber and they would be pretty gone after half a lap... now, i know that most people done drive high powered SUVs on the track but, well... yea.
Cayenne Turbo w/steel brakes was fantastic. I think i have a video of sanner screaming at the bmw.

First - I need an SUV to haul my three kids to school and take the luggage to the airport for family vacation. Also, driving on the highway with all the 18-wheelers - the SUV does wonders for visibility over my 911. Panny is good for a person who does not need to take adults with them anywhere and has two kids or less that need to go to school.
Panny with a rear bench - then we can talk. Until then, maybe you should procreate more rather than knock the worlds most capable and best performing SUV :-).
The CTT is a bit softer than I would have liked. I do love it - its got balls when you want it, but I dont want balls in my face all the time. The greatest thing which I have grown accustomed too in the Cayenne Turbo is that is goes from a raging sports car (sport mode, lowered and tightened suspension, tighter steering and super acceleration) to a mercedes S class once Comfort is pressed. The fact that I can tear up the backroads on the way to my parents house, pick up my aging dad, and he says, "wow, this feels like my S-class, not a truck" I know that Porsche has done something right.
If you want a beast that has different personalities, the Cayenne Turbo is the only way to go.
The Bimmer - I like it, many folks like it, I just feel its very dated and not envelope pushing - and I'm pretty sure its personality is a one track mind. For my $137K I spent on the CTT, I like the variety. It keeps its interesting.
Just remember - if you buy it with the 21" Turbo II's - you need to get 20" rims and snow/winter tires also.
Good luck!

Once the ML lease is up next year, it's gonna be down to a CTT or X5M. For an SUV, I think the M is damn sexy. The 'free' maintenance is a big plus. Cayenne interiors also feel smallish. We'll certainly reassess when the time comes but def leaning towards the BMW.
