So BMW invited us in as our X1 lease is up in may and we thought, why the hell not have a drive? It's a more refined car and very much more suited to our needs but you do feel the height and the weight up top, it drives like a small SUV rather than a car like the old one did. So as advertised, not as sporty but much, much easier to live with.

Thing is, if you throw in NAV and parking camera/sensors, and they want $750 a month (all in) and $2K down for four years on a lease! I literally laughed a little, the poor salesman was confused and my mrs embarrassed but COME ON, how stupid do I look?

I said, you want me to spend $36,000 on your entry level model then hand back the keys?? Poor guy, wasn't ready for me at all. I can BUY a Q5 with 50,000KM for the same money and own the damned thing!

That's just insane, absolutely insane.

Wife would have signed in a second if i wasn't there.
