So I bought my wife a 2007 denali. It was time as her expedition was just costing too much in repairs. Now when I bought my 2002 530i years ago I let it be known that it was MY car. She could drive it when I wasn't but it was mine. My problem is I friggen love her truck! I should have known as I've had tahoes before. I offerd her the bimmer (it's still in like new shape) and her answer was add nav, tint windows and som other b/s. Not going to happen!
So, how do I switch cars with out looking like a total over bearing dick.

either do the upgrades to the beemer or just be happy with what you have! haha sounds like a predicament but tint, nav, and other b/s can be done for a reasonable price!

or take turns - every other weekend :)

I can get the parts for the factory nav for a couple grand. But, You have to take most of the interior out to install it. The tint and other things she wants are no big deal.
The ****** thing...... That will keep my home life pure heaven but switching cars. I don't know.

Coolade07........That cup is still a sore spot. Don't rub it in.

Maybe next year we will add another denali to the family.

If she doesn't have a job, tell her you get the Tahoe because you paid for it

Best of luck!!

j/k

We share all our vehicles, so I guess you could start off suggesting that?

You can pick up a Garmin "NAV" for under $200, tint the windows, and viola, you have met her demands. ;) Nothing saying it has to be stock nav.

While for the most part the Suburban is mine and the Altima is for my wife, we both share the vehicles. If she is taking a trip to sams club to do a lot of shopping, she will take the burban. If i'm leaving for work and the Altima is parked behind the burban in the driveway, I'll just take the Altima to work. I've done a lot of mods to the Altima just like I have to the Burban. Can't you guys just share?

Dump the Beemer and buy an Escalade. Then, when she decides she can't live without the cooled seats and the HID's you can have the Denali .... simple!

Thats a brave and dangerous move. But, she dose work....for me actually.
We have been swaping cars as needed but I think when the bimmer gose I'll be getting a denali or one of the upper nnbs trucks.
