It's been one thing after another. Currently I'm having a noise issue that the dealer can't seem to figure out. It's been extremely frustrating. Trying to figure out what to do next...should I just keep on dealing with it or get rid of it? I don't think I would get another BMW after this - and they have been my last 4 cars.
My only next option is the Mercedes GL450 or 550. They seem to be more reliable, couple friends have the GL550 and none of these type of issues have shown up. Plus the 3rd row is useable.

Most of the X5 options are standard on the GL550......temping, but again we will see.
