Is the E53 4.4i really that bad?

Lol. No, not due to the aforementioned issues. Mainly getting rid of the Qx4 because we have a new baby and the Qx4 rear passenger area is really small. When my wife sits back there with the baby, she's very uncomfortable. Also, the Qx4 does not have the safety features the X5 has. Although pretty reliable outside of the issues I mentioned, we are just looking for more rear passenger space, a more refined ride with a some sport to boot.

We sat in the back of the X5 and it was night and day. I'm 6'1 and I was able to sit very comfortable behind my set position in the X5. I can't sit in the back of Qx4, the back seats are literally for children or shorter adults.
