Brunotheboxer · 19 June 2015, 09:08 PM

I am biased as I love Jeep. But I saw the M on the road yesterday, and I was blown away. Looks great. And then I looked up the specs. Whoah....

Just traded a 2014 White w Black interior SRT8 Grand Cherokee this past week only 10k miles. Going to be available for sale next week.

zama · 19 June 2015, 10:49 PM

Just so all of our Amercian TRF friends can laugh, a SRT8 here in Australia is about US$70K, the X5M is double the price, in the US I am sure there is not $70K difference. All European cars have silly mark up and tax does the rest her downunder.

rr-nyc · 19 June 2015, 10:57 PM

No contest for me...The X5M is superior in every aspect.

Unfortunately, they are nearly impossible to get. All the dealers in Florida are sold out of their allocations

Given that these two aren't even remotely close when it comes to price, I don't see why anyone would be comparing the two.

I watched two videos on YouTube doing a comparison of these two and the Cayenne GTS. It got me to thinking.

They are also two high performance SUV's and there are not a whole lot of those. Whenever you search for either, the articles always list the other as potential to think about if pondering a purchase.

Danny83 · 19 June 2015, 11:21 PM

I would get the X5M next year new bodystyle.

The X5 isn't changing next year. They just introduced the current model last year and the X5M is new this year

watchwatcher · 19 June 2015, 11:31 PM

Love the BMW.

lavaman · 19 June 2015, 11:34 PM

Let's put it this way: unless it's under warranty, I tell my clients to just let the other side have the MOPAR products in the divorce. Dodge Ram trucks aside, Chrysler /Dodge products have been rubbish for about 40 years. Utter rubbish. I love the Jeep Wrangler, but every time I think of buying one, I read the owner reviews and scamper

blassy · 19 June 2015, 11:41 PM

I drive the X5M and it's coming up for end of lease. I posed a similar question.
I drove the SRT8 to see if I wanted to make a change.
Answer is simple.
If money isn't an issue....X5 is superior in every possible way.
If it is an issue...Jeep is a ton of fun to drive.

Abdullasaif · 19 June 2015, 11:44 PM

X5m 2015

antbkny · 19 June 2015, 11:48 PM

both are fun trucks, but you have to go for the ///M

mjclark32 · 19 June 2015, 11:51 PM

My brother in law has a 15' X5 5.0 and it is pretty legit...

Still a beast. Much less loot.

I'll see if I can get a video of us using launch control over the weekend

Ferdelious · 20 June 2015, 12:51 AM

Bimmer get my vote.

texex91 · 20 June 2015, 12:56 AM

1) Never, NEVER pay over MSRP for a car. Period. There are plenty of dealers out there (M's are depreciation bombs so be VERY careful!)

2) If you go Jeep, wait for Hellcat version which is rumored to be coming out.http://truckyeah.jalopnik.com/report...cat-1712338623

Thats exactly what I say

Unfortunately, there are too many people in FL with more money than brains. Braman BMW in Miami had the exact X5M i wanted and was asking $15k over sticker. And it sold

Braman is the worst... You're right, too much money down here and absolutely no sense!

As an M owner, I'd go with the Jeep just based on the MSRP differential.

Chewbacca · 20 June 2015, 01:08 AM

i'm actually was a BMW guy and have owned 8 in my life but i prefer the SRT8. if i'm buying a sport-brute, its gotta have Uncle Sam dna.

the M badge used to mean something more than an option package.

While I agree that BMW is overdoing it with the M-sport options just like MB is doing with AMG, there is no comparing an M-sport option with an M car.

i agree, and that's my point. the X5M is more or less a modern 2006 X5 4.8i with M sport package. the X5M is an amazing SUV, but not an M car... its not even a car. i understand that wasn't the premis of the main talking point but, its a thorn in my side.

interesting article below.
