I totally agree.

I took a run at building a ‘24 Cayenne S and it was pushing $130k.

I do not know what I am going to do. I am not at all agreeable to the above for a base Cayenne and an S is definitely not happening. I am done with new BMW SAVs so no clue where to look now.

FWIW, i'd probably go with the 20" cayenne sport wheels for $1k instead of $3k for the 21s...get more sidewall plus I dont think the 21s look that much better.

Also, i'd probably add the ventilated seats. They're so nice to have...and a relative bargain by porsche option standards..

I'd also want to hear the sport exhaust system to determine whether its really worth spending 3k on.
I want the new 22s. My 0.02, the 20s are to small. Road conditions here are not really a major concern.

I do not like ventilated seats. All they do is blow interior air. They also make the seat cushioning slightly thinner. I did extensive research on this prior to ordering my current X5.

Agree re the exhaust.

The reality is I do not foresee me ordering a Cayenne given what you get in comparison to a BMW, but I am not ordering one of those either.
