Sorry to hear your situation.
I have drove quite a few of customers M5, and test drove some X3MC and X4MC, before I finally decided to order the X3MC. I think the X3MC / X4MC is more nimble compares to F90 M5. On the long straight, yes, the F90 M5 will keep on pulling hard. But for DD, I think TwinTurbo Inline6 is more usable and fun.

Tough one, sorry to hear your situation.
I have had 2 F10 M5s and loved them apart form lack of grip. Although I enjoy my X3MC it would be the M5 for me. Apart from lack of grip I could not fault the F10 whereas I find it easy to find fault with the X3MC

If you haven't seen you can get payments deferred for a few months on your M5 lease. You pay them at end of lease. Not sure if that helps your situation but something to consider. Your X4M monthly is very good, so not a bad option there at all.

sorry to hear your situation hope its over soon and you can get your business back to normal
My though would be to contact BMW first to see what help they can offer before you make any decisions good luck and take care through this nightmare

if you get a good deal, get out now. the prices will fall through the floor (maybe a bit exagerated) and many others in your situation will pull out of deals / pre-orders and the dealers will need to move stock.
that is my guess! |

If your that concerned I’d wait for business to pick back up rather than just waiting for the dealership to open back up and spend circa 800pm

OP sorry to hear about your situation but I think you are absolutely doing the right thing. I'm sure things will return to normal someday but who knows when. You will always be able to pick up a nice bmw when your income returns.

I’d move the M5. Keep my savings. Make a new car decision after my business was back 100%. Then you can make a rational decision on M5 vs X4M. Too soon to decide. Best of luck !

I am in the same boat but still hanging in there. Hopefully can qualify for some of that relief money for small businesses. If it comes to me using savings to pay for a car I will dump it right away and get another one when business picks up no question in my mind. I am sure you love the car but it's just a car |

Not sure that this has been asked but are you even driving much these days? I'm certainly not and I don't see that changing for me in the next few months.
If you're in the same boat, I would save the money rather than paying for something you're not getting the opportunity to enjoy.

I would get rid of the M5 lease asap and cancel the X4MC. Just use another vehicle you may have or lease something cheaper till your business cash flow improves. I would never eat away at my savings if my business was suffering for any luxury vehicle.

I would likely buy a corolla or Elantra which is good on gas until I got back on my feet. If housing or food ever becomes a concern the last thing you’ll be worried about is a luxury vehicle. I’m sorry you are going through this. |

I appreciate all your input regarding getting rid of my M5. reading through all your opinions , i think right now it is in my best interest to have this gentleman take over my lease. i own bakeries and service many schools. its not a question of if their coming back my schools, its just when . its the uncertainty which makes me nervous. again i appreciate all your input which makes it easier to make this decision .
