I know where you are coming from zumbalak but you won`t get much empathy from the fanboys .
weird thing is , quality took a slide on most high end cars whilst the crappy cars improved ( there is a word to describe this phenomenon but I can`t remember ).
The posers and 30k millionares are referred to as cocks , they all drive Audis now but will change their colours whenever someone tells them some car is the dogs bollocks , same as they need to have the latest designer wear to pose in .

all that stuff you said about handling , I know what you mean , makes no difference how good or bad a car is if you know how to drive like The Stig or have any degree of skill .
It is depressing to discover the X5 you bought is a piece of shit but most people joining this forum soon realise how to sort the problems and continue to enjoy the car they bought for it`s comfort and safety features .
continue to rant if it makes you feel better .
I`m sure BMW read some of this stuff and I like to see them getting deserved criticism .
