Test drove another Cayenne. New base model with 21" wheels. I bought it. Clearly a better driving car than the X5. You get more for your money with BMW but supposedly I'll get some of that back in resale value over the BMW. Whatever.
I had tried buying at my nearest dealer and all they would offer is 1% discount. We were all polite and all but that was not happening. Went a bit further afield and got 5% off. And 1.95% interest. They let me walk before when I wanted more so I'm sure that's all they were giving.
Car gets delivered next week and I return my lease 540i. Happy that the decision is made and everything done. Kinda large payments but whatever. At least this time after 5 years I own something.
Thanks for letting me share this with you all.

Congrats! It must feel good to finally have made a decision after going through a multitude of choices
Be sure to post pictures when you receive your Cayenne.
