About last machine which has not appeared on the website
I promised someone, and perhaps in the blog itself about it wrote, but not the essence, the time has come. I finally sold my car, the one that didn't bring pleasure, and to the change which came the Mini Cooper S 5-door (F56).
A year and a half ago, I wrote the first entry about choosing a new car. Then about a BMW X5 I said: Good option, but then you have to take b/y, new not pull. Compared to the X3 it was a logical step forward. I would not say that I needed this car, but X4, as I also wrote, in 1 in 1 with X3, which I already three years otezdil. Q5 is still not updated, Ah, Yes, I will not repeat that record.
By chance and good beliefs friend the dealer, an opportunity came up in September to take the BMW X5 F15 with registration in January. A certain amount of headache when buying a car, and re-leasing. Welcome to the next level. The dealer tried to convince me that this is a very common configuration, there is nothing superfluous, and everything you need – on the spot. I wasn't thrilled with the white color, discs, absence of the M-package. But all of the above would increase the cost of the car, and then – almost the same money that I gave for the 2011 BMW X3 3.0 d. Sounds good.
Of the main options were: NAV, good sound, LED headlights, a power latching system. I dreamed about the lights in the cabin, black-panel instrument panel, and a few other things, but no luck! Darren – or rather, purchased the horse in teeth do not look.
The first picture of the car. Barely able to find more than four shots with her phone.
First impressions? Good, positive. In the car was actually quieter than the X3. The torque was enough, it seemed that the car is slightly faster than the X3, although in reality she was almost a second slower. Closers doors created a feeling of premium of the car. Nice, I must say, the feeling.
A few months later I was disappointed in the car. Emotions from her was not enough. It is really big, I didn't really like the reaction of others to completely ignore all else fails. To be Frank, and for the money it was quite expensive. The monthly payment for leasing is not like purely because of the numbers, not the percentage of the remaining salary. It turned out that I too pay good money for the car, which is not much use. During the year, the mileage was "only" 14 000. It's really small. Apartment near the center of Riga, office two kilometers away, and the small number of trips outside the city. And so it turns out that for +- a thousand miles in a month I was paying too much. On the horizon was a wedding, desire to make the bride a gift, and all that jazz.

In April, I accidentally touched the G-wagon, from which beginning the machine was delayed for a month. The situation, of course, fun. Similar to the anecdote with the catchphrase "where's the plows?". Buying activity in the summer is close to zero, the unclear economic situation in the country, though not as dramatic as neighbors, but still nothing useful in the sale of my car did. Spoiled the situation our official dealer of BMW, which decided to sell a BMW X5 in the business included in unit over 59,999 EUR with VAT. Therefore, it can be delivered on fixed assets of firms, and made the purchase quite a bargain. My additional options and low mileage would put a car in this price category. But choosing the BMW X5 in this price range, buyers will be more likely to get an entirely new car from a dealer than used. Had to reduce the price.
As time went on, the MINI is still delayed, I continued to pay X5 the price of which has declined every month, along with the rest on leasing. Needless to say, that the love of the car from did not grow?
In August on my bike I rode the 1300km training, and the city has 100 kilometers. By car – 300. The situation is clear.
With the practicality of the X5 was not exact problems. This is a very nice plus.
By the end of the month I still managed to find a buyer for the car, though not for a super price. At that point I just wanted to get rid of it. MINI Cooper came on 26 August, X5 was sold on 2 September. The third took place the heroic operation for the transmission of documents, which included three velokurjers. The whole process was reminiscent of an action Thriller. Parallel to the calls and tracking the movement of messengers on the phone, I decided another 185 cases three works, and by the end of the day, when I finally gave the keys to the Mini and X5 question was closed, I just wanted to come home, lie down on the couch and go to sleep. But a fresh Cup of espresso allowed to cheer. A new Chapter has begun in my relationship with cars.
With the old machine I really didn't, but it is not linked to any important emotions. Not together, not pulled, not mine. I'll be honest, sometimes even a bit shy. Can accurately understood, which is inconsistent with her status, if such concepts still have a right to life.
And this is the last photo, a few days before the sale.
I know many people who are from F15 delighted, and I'm happy for these people. Everyone needs to find the car that he likes. I really hope that I found my.
Sanya I know that you like hot cars, but apparently there are other, more important priorities !
Of course, if a Ferrari, it is possible and as a second car to leave. Here only I do not earn on a similar machine.
Right, we should go on like that and gives emotions and not to accommodate to the opinions of others)
Let's hope that BJ will be different! And that if BJ is not, don't forget to write once in a while!) Good luck!
A good and sensible story. Thank you. You're right, the X5 attracts a lot of attention. Especially in white. And if you would M - package, it would attract even more.
In the future, it is interesting to see VW Tiguan 2016. Soon the Prime Minister. Sometimes I go to the VW Golf. Rides really good. Sorry too small and short.
I wrote a few blogs about it, if not laziness, esteem. To repeat is not very desirable.
Congratulations on yet another purchase! Write about a BJ) we didn't take than much!)
Now even looked, 1300 per month — it's cool) I during the summer of 1800. The truth on forests in the ground and the roads partially.
Desinence.

PS No man chooses and the car but the responsibility falls on the owner(!
Weird. Latvia is not so. Use cars I'm not even a did not pass, because it's still early there. And its cost is still limited at the level of 250-300 euros if I'm not mistaken. The same story was with other BMW that I had.
About the loss of any premium brand will not do anything.
I liked the x as a machine, but alas, it is for those who have a lot of money to entertain myself. Because the cost of maintaining such a machine at the OD is catastrophic. And loss selling as well huge.
Yes, nobody argues, simply to this point is still pretty far away. And there you can take the new X1 bkb new Countryman.
Cool story! But when the family starts to grow, you will miss the trunk of the X5. And even X3, most likely )))
Nravistja 23 since childhood, when b & W TV watching the matches of the Chicago Bulls with Jordan at the helm. Was also born on the 23rd.
Alexander, not for the first time to notice all the same figures from the private car. What do they mean? :)

Mentally, and most importantly very honest. Smiled with the phrase: a little shy of the car :-) Here it is life in EU )))
Solidarity!
Get faster😊
Latvia has always been very popular in the Soviet period, was then in 97g — very disappointed, and in 2003 again fell in love, although since then has not had a chance to visit, only to the Lithuanian Golf courses get
We are somewhere in the middle is stuck between a normal Europe and post-Soviet space and thinking.

I'm lucky I look young enough for their, shall we say, years. Therefore, the X5 look as though it's my dad's car for a joyride. The second problem is with the attitude of people who begin to draw conclusions that if you have this level of machine (in terms of cost), it means that you earn a lot, and so on. If it is brief.
yeah, well you have of course the mentality is quite different, here we have majors in the parent Porsche and BMW cut in, as if the kings of life, although they themselves still milk on lips has not dried out

And I think that now there is no any graduations age<=>car, serious respectable people often prefer a small practical car and the young majors on the contrary, the fancy chests ) and never know and not know at present who ever sits behind the wheel )
The point is clear and understandable, but me personally like it would do not care who and what thinks)

>>I didn't really like the reaction of others to completely ignore all else fails

You correctly wrote that she had not yet grown to the x5. Anything terrible in 5-7 years if all goes well with your career buy yourself x5 and will kayfovat.
Heard. We're not all in Russia live in the forest.
"But choosing the BMW X5 in this price range, buyers will be more likely to get an entirely new car from a dealer than used. Had to reduce the price."
"As time went on, the MINI is still delayed, I continued to pay X5 the price of which has declined every month, along with the rest on leasing."
Something like the headless. Vbuhali money in the amount of several tens of thousands of euros and after a short period of time to be disappointed in the car. Interesting... Maybe the money came easily?
Well, naked is boring X5, Walki rulitsya not ice))) besides the motor is dead... Even 306 strong him enough to be honest)
