Hi guys, I had many sports cars and thought I was over them but I still miss the power and fun. I started thinking about the C7 Z06 but then I drove a friends 2014 Jeep SRT8 and I really loved the idea of a high performance AWD SUV. I am not here to start a flame war or any problems. I think both trucks are bada$$. Personally I like the look of the BMW a little more and It's so hard to say no to a AWD with a twin turbo V8. Ironically next to my house we have a good tuning shop that works on just Jeeps and BMW (Auto couture) I could do the X5M and do a tune and exhaust and call it a day.
I currently have a 2012 AEV Wrangler lifted with 35's. I thought I would do a lot of off roading but I don't and I miss the speed and power of my old sports cars. I figured with the X5M or SRT8 I could have lots of fun daily with it and have a winter set of rims and snow tires. Best of both worlds.
I have never owned a BMW and whatever I get I want to keep it for a long time. I am unfamiliar with BMW ownership cost and maintenance cost and long term reliability. I guess I just wanted to know if I went with the X5M and purchased a BMW gold warranty I would be good. I have 2 more years left to payoff my wrangler (I could pay if off now) but i'm just waiting and watching the market. I seen the Porsche Cayenne Turbo and the Range Rover sport SVR but the only two I really seen to love are the beemer and the jeep. Any advice or info would be appreciated :thumbup:
