I never said I didn't like my X5 either. These generalizations are ridiculous, though. My car's resale 1 year after I bought it I'm sure isn't so good. I'm sure a couple of years from it will be fine enough. And, after a year, I haven't any problems, other than replacing the idiotic OEM runflat tires.

Having owned BMW's for the past 15 years, I have no problem with my car choice this time around (BTW - not a GTO), except for when I pine for a SUV to haul crap around, but I'd have that with any car.

I will say this though, dealer service and roadside assist from Cadillac, at least here in my area, makes BMW look like Pontiac. The BMW people just plain sucked, which really annoyed me. The Cadillac people have been incredible.
