Hi there,

I about to choose between BMW X5 2007 with mileage 40k km and Cayenne S 2008 with mileage 35k km. i have a look and startup both machine. I can't say more because i'm not expert with regard the mechanical things. Both engine sound ok for me. car condition not too bad. I just to ask how much rough QR the maintenance of both. i.e normal service, major service. The sale person inform if i want to re confirm the car condition, they can send to computer test. How strong can i trust the test

Thanks in advance for all the comments.

i had X5 earlier and i used to pay around 1800 - 2200 for the service. regarding maintenance record u can demand the same from the main dealer (al-fardan for BMW and Al-Boraq for Porsche) and it is ur right to ask for the same, and if u want do the inspection in the main dealer workshop to be more confident abt the vehicle

Thanks for the reply mate. did you have any figure how much it will cost for normal service. Can we get the maintenance record from the dealer if the car is sell in used car? thanks again

in fact Cayenne is more reliable on dunes comparing with X5 otherwise most of other options are available in both.

maintenance and spare parts of Porsche is costlier than BMW, but in anyway check the maintenance history of each one in the main dealer before buying coz it will give u a reflection of car status and maintenance cost, also try to inquire about warranty which will be recommended if not valid.

BMW X5 is a very nice car, the Porsche also, but as Mr-Qatar said , the replacement parts and maintenance of the Porsche is way higher.

Porsche is offcourse a better option but maintenance & service (parts) very costly you need to think abt that...
