After a long consideration, I finally decided to buy myself a new mode of transportation. I bought two new cars, a BMW X5 4.8is and a Toyota Camry.
I went to a BMW dealership and took a test drive, I drove two models, the 4.8i petrol and the 3.0i petrol and was pleased with both of them. The V8 had rubbish economy in the city and the 3.0 was under powered for a car this sze.
I got my car in a bronze colour along with 19 inch rims.
The car was a 4.8is with 355hp and 350ft/lb torque. The build quality was very good and the comfort and features are very user-friendly and easy to use.
The only disadvantage is that the engine, is a bit sluggish below 2000rpm and really needs a lot of acceleration to get moving and the economy is fair at around 20mpg,
The other thing is, the car is useless off-road, I took to a park and came across a bit of mud and it was stuck.
A recommended car, far better than the ML Mercedes.
My friends always like to be driven in it. And it gives u respect on the road.
