It's not too late Chris. I am selling a nearly 3 year old S which hasn't missed a beat or needed a workshop visit, other than for servicing. It will be replaced with a White GTS coming on the 24th of this month.

If you were thinking, no I don't want a BMW in exchange[:)]
 
As an everyday family SUV I'd prefer the X5.

Build quality, reliability and customer care will probably be similar across the board, but the Cayenne will cost more to run. Porsche don't offer a match for the BMW 3.0d's economy, and tyre wear, servicing and depreciation are all likely to be more expensive.

I know that both Porsche and BMW offer top end performance variants, but I've never seen the point of these big, heavy, fast and thirsty SUVs. They'll never handle like a well resolved saloon/estate, let alone a sports car. And at least the X5 is bearable to look at[&:]
