CLS70 is on a distinguished road
I have a 2007 X5 - with over 200K KM some thoughts below

- no, I won't take the X5 on a long trip to OTHER country; when I had long trips, I have rented a car, the potential $$$$ and risk of vacation disaster from an unexpected issue would be enormous. e.g. We have driven Toronto-Florida & Back a few times.

- I have taken the X5 to long trips (+1000 KM) IN Canada, as I have AAA (CAA here) so at least I would be able to get a tow to somewhere close/major city.

- IMO, a major risk is the Cooling System (e.g. Water Pump, Expansion Tank, Hoses,...)
