$800 company car allowance: X MR interest
Need forum readers to bring me up to speed. Not been active in awhile.
1. Any issues with X or MR
2. Soft market. Where to buy?
3. Plan to Robispec & Cusco everything
4. Without splitting hairs, what's general consensus on X?
Company taking away company car and giving allowance of $800/ month to cover all costs...insurance, maintenance, gas, etc.
Thanks for help.

Mebe you should take an hour and read.
If I was given $800 for a company car and had to be presentable, I'd look no further than a 335i or M3... but that's just me. The X doesn't have any "butt weight" with clients.

How much are you willing to pay me to do the research for you? Let me know and you can Paypal me the money. I don't work for free and I imagine nobody else on this forum does either.

Save it and buy something down the line....your making $9600 a year. Wait 3 years and buy something out right. I'd take that money and dump it right into an ING account and let it grow.

Wishful thinking...do you really think they'll let you "pocket" the difference? I doubt it.

Just do it. X 5speed or MR + robispec + fistfull of parts + tuning = awesomeness. Cali dealers on here have the best prices and depending on where you're at your local dealer will probably be able to get fairly close.
F this other car talk, this is evoM!
