Thanks Bumble 996, I was just thinking of doing that (4.6 body kit) and i love those BBS rims, although if I would get those I would put them on the Cayenne. For the X5 I was thinking just stock 4.6 wheels. Although for the same price about I can also get the AC schnitzer body kit, which one do you think looks better?
I preferred the look of the 4.6 kit as opposed to the AC Kit - but to each his own...the 4.6 kit looks "cleaner" to me.

If you've already got the Cayenne, I'd just ship that down as previously mentioned.

Are the X5 reliable?
Mine was great, but I have a buddy with one (same year) and he has had nothing but problems - seems that 03+ are where the kinks started to get ironed out...

My wheels are called Titan Wheels the are very similar to the lambo. diablo wheel but much larger (22s to be exact) I too have the 4.6 kit but....its a much better looking kit IMO. As far as reliability Ive owned and X5 and an 04 Rover, im much happier with the X5. Never driven the Cayenne

Then not a bad idea...I dont worry about my cars that much so Idrive them all the time every where and dont care as long as I dont have door dings and such, they get waxed every 4 weeks etc etc they are only hunks or metal and very replaceable.

Well I go to Miami every month so I need a car there and I plan on keeping all the porsches for at least five years, so I dont want to get the cayenne full of salt and let it sit out in the sun all year. I am only considering this deal on the X5 because I am buying at wholesale or even under wholesale with a better than new warranty when you factor in the certified additional 2 years. I just think I can use the x5 for a couple of years and then sell it private party and take very good care of it and take very little hit on it since in three years it will still have two years left of warranty until 100K miles. If I cant flip it, My mom who loves the X5 can then just keep it. On the other hand my other option is a 1999 Boxster in Silver with 35K miles for about $19,000. I personally would love the boxster as a daily driver because of the nadling, but I would be stuck with the same problkem, it doesnt run in the snow, I cannot fit anyone to take trips, it does not have a warranty, and I will take a big hit on it when I want to get rid of it.
