Hey guys,

I need your help...as far as which vehicle to buy my wife. My wife has been asking me when I'm going to replace her BMW 4.6is with a newer vehicle.

So I'm going to surprise her this coming Mothers Day with a new vehicle. She is NOT into cars but that doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy driving a nice one. That said I don't know which vehicle to get her. This is strictly going to be her vehicle - I will not be driving it at all.

Three choices are Porsche Cayenne Turbo, Range Rover SC, or BMW M5.

I'm steering towards Range Rover but at the same time I think she will enjoy driving a M5.

EDIT: She doesn't like MBZ AMGs - I tried giving my E63 to her, she said no thanks!

I'd get the Cayenne.

RR SC or Cayenne are my favorites, as long as they are covered under some form of factory warranty during the entire ownership period.

RR has pretty interior but nothing sporty about the way it drives.

Cayenne drives fantastic & I prefer it's interior & exterior.

Never driven the M or seen it's interior but guessing nothing about it will appeal to your wife. or females in general

No contest.... Cayenne all the way!!!

Current M5 is fairly dated now... maybe an X6M or X5M?

Cayenne. I would think you should be able to get a good deal on a 2010 (if you're looking to buy new) right now since the redesigned 2011 model will be here soon. Or you could just wait for the redesigned one! haha

Well the new Cayenne is here and the M5 is going to be replaced in 2 years with a new model. The RR has been significantly updated.

I'd go with the new Cayenne Turbo!

Thanks for the feedbacks!

With majority of you suggesting the Cayenne is probably the best of the bunch, I'll do my homework on the Cayenne and see where it goes from there.

I like to get her a new vehicle, but considering my wife is also my financial advisor I don't think she will be happy spending a lot of money on a new one. So most likely I'll look for a preowned 2008-2010 model.

I would definately go for the Cayenne Turbo...my brother has a 08 RR SC and its sweet,it drives nothing like a SUV...on the flip side I would personally go for the Cayenne Turbo...i have test drove the new one ...and its a beast...M5 is not really a ladies car...

Heres a pic of my bros RR and my old C6.

FWIW my girl really likes the Cayenne and says if/when we ever need an SUV that's her choice, so some women like it too! haha You should definitely be able to get a good price on those years since the new one is here or will be shortly. Goodluck!

Why don't you get a new Cayenne S instead of a used Turbo model?

It's up to you and your wife, but do you think she'll really utilize that 500hp?

A new Cayenne just came out I believe and the new interior is just gorgeous. The last gen interior was more spartan and almost VW-ish...
