How was the deal that much better than the Jag and RR?

When all the dust settled, the BMW was nothing down and a monthly payment that was several hundred less than the RR Sport
Both were similarly equipped

The Jaguar was a looker but ultimately a bit small for my tastes.

$$$ probably was the final piece of the puzzle
I had an offer I couldn’t refuse

There is a BMW Dealership about 10 minutes from my office

Jaguar/Land Rover Dealership is 90 minutes away

So I chose convenience



Lastly, the numbers were terrific on the X5

Nuff’ said!

I purchased a BMW 540i Xdrive recently and it has exceeded my expectations. Smooth riding, the 3.0 Bi turbo is great and it’s has enough “drivers car” in it for me. As I get older I’m more about the comfort.

Make sure you drive a Tesla first. It’s a different feel. Some have complained the interior is not of a car based at the price level. Consider servicing and any possible breakdowns on the road.

Excellent thoughts!!

This round of automobile roulette has come and gone with the winning bet on black ( well, graphite metallic )

I am very much interested in electric vehicles
I’m hoping that we are very fast approaching the end of internal combustion engines as the mainstay of our world.
