we should never, never, allow ourselves to become this ignorant! if it doesn't work fix it or return it!!

don't sell it or offer it if it isn't perfect!!

my Toyota Landcruiser has NAV, power everything, and other toys....never, never, never had a problem in the years I've had her...

not one single minor problem... that's QA!!

BMW needs to step up or admit failure!!

I am now cancelling my 08 order and will wait till I hear and see major improvements!!
Landcruisers are Toyotas which are known for longetivity. But they are not as complex at all compared to BMW technology especially the X5. I agree though that there is no excuse for a new car not to start--regardless of what kind of car it is.
