M4 coming in sooner

M4Ghost · 07-23-2022, 03:21 PM

Well, I just got the X5 M50i, lol yay! However, my m4 is coming in sooner than I thought.

So I may be at a cross roads, so I can keep the X5M50i, or I can Keep the m4, or I can try to do both which could be a stretch.

Two very nice cars.
I'd probably be happier in the M4, even though I'm getting tired of low profile tires on a daily driver.

All depends on whether you need four doors. If so keep the X5. If not go the M4 route.

In most states you can pass on the M4 for no cost. With the current shortage of vehicles I am sure the dealer would welcome the chance to sell an M4 off the lot.

I got my M2 when another customer passed on his ordered BMW. The M2 had a backorder at the time.

I figured with a Whitefish location. You know that the X5 is more of a Montana car than the M4. But it all comes down to do you need 4 doors?

I have dogs and it was really hard for me to get the m4. So I feel like get it and get a beater. Or just get an x6m

We have a Mazda CX-5 for the dog. With AWD it also makes a great winter car. I can’t see dogs in either an M2 or an M4.

Yep. You just need to do what makes logical and financial sense to you. With todays market on cars you won’t lose much by trading in the X5. Nice that Montana doesn’t have a sales tax.

Let us know what you end up doing.

Ditch the M4, couldn't be an easier choice.

TheMidnightNarwhal · 07-23-2022, 09:33 PM

I mean not sure why you are asking or like what I mean, we can't answer we we don't know your money situation. If I was in a situation I could afford both of these I would definitely love to keep both. M4 my fun car that can be used daily in summer and the x5 M50i would be my winter daily, tow car, cargo car.

X6M is a much better choice, those cars are dope.

Replacing the X5 with another vehicle that is over priced in this market (even if a mazda) seems like a negative. Then you have your pets to move, which cancels the M4. So, keep the X5.

If only one car, in Whitefish, the X5. If an SUV (whether the X5 or another) plus the X5 or M4, and you can live with the grille on the M4, then I would go for the M4.

Your rational to this story appears a bit hazy.

For example, why did you order the M4 when you "just got" the X5 and knowing it's a stretch to keep both? And now you're thinking of buying the X6 instead and possibly also a beater car for the dogs too?? And if you justified getting the M4 despite having dogs, what has changed that is making you re-think?

Thus it seems we're missing some context to your story or, with due respect, maybe you have an issue with impulse buying.
