Default Last day with my 2006 Cayenne V6

Dear fellow friends,

It's time bid farewell to my beloved Cayenne V6. I was the original owner but time has come to part with it. The new buyer is quite excited to take ownership of my nicely equipped Cayenne.

I am taking ownership of a 2013 BMW 535i GT. Wish me luck and I shall return to a Cayenne in the future.

Congrats! I have a co-worker with a GT, i feel a bit sorry for him. The looks and the repairs all the time (broken wheel, blown air suspension,...) ... Shouldn't take you too long to return .

That's normal BMW ownership!

I have a friend with one, and he'd like to return it. Actually, I should say I used to have a friend was one. The car is so butt ugly I don't want to be seen with him! We do however talk, that's for me to listen to how much he misses his Cayenne – having to replace the cardan shaft, coolant hoses, eat tires, and all.
I can hear taps being played for you in the distance.

With the BMW GT...you either love it or hate it. I wanted something new and GT was priced right.

IMHO Cayenne owners can't talk down to the reliability of a BMW with a straight face. They both have their issues.

I'm a fan of the 535i GT. The look is unique, it's practical and the inline 6 twin turbo is a beast of a motor. With a simple ECU tune you're over 400 hp and torque. I believe it has the 8 seed automatic? Would've been amazing with a DCT transmission.

Good luck with you're new ride. If you come back get a GTS or Turbo!
