Going in circles on the next vehicle purchase.

So we owned a BMW 640GC with the great inline 6 engine. Had every option and loved it. Picked it up European Deliver and it was a magical time and experience. It was a three year lease though and that came to an end. With European Delivery and dealers willing to negotiate pre COVID, we had about a 14% off of MSRP.

Now we’re thinking about a new x7 40i, but it’s made here, not in Germany. European delivery is cancelled. No dealer discounts, limited manufacturer rebates. So compelling reasons are gone. Also interested in a 2021 Alpina version but with a v8 and larger turbos than the 60i, I feel that’s risky. (Still has 20-months left on the warrantee). Could buy an extended 3rd party warranty good for 75,000 miles but that adds on 7-8k to the price.

Now Lexus dealers are offering 10k off on a new GX460 because the new GX550’s and Land Cruisers will be here in a couple of months. So this could be a great value play from a price and maintenance standpoint. But no heads up display or massaging seats so that’s what’s giving us pause.

Also like the MB G wagon but dealers are still selling these for over MSRP and BMW although not Toyota, has a better maintenance track record then MB. But the G wagon is built in Austria, so more reliable.

Any thought/arguments regarding these options what I may not have considered would be great.
