BMWs NO MORE POOR QUALITY CONTROL HASTA LA VISTA BABY!

[nom3rcy]

I couldn't imagine going from an X5 to an RX, probably the same feeling fighter jet pilots get when they have to drive Hummers around base.

I can't even imagine shopping the two together. If you drive a Lexus and a BMW back-to-back and you can't tell a difference as far as dynamics are concerned, you probably don't need to buy the Bimmer anyway.

all depends on how often you drive in such a way as to appreciate the X5 dynamics .
I have to say though , it is comforting to know the dynamic agility is there if you need to make evasive manoeuvres .

my neighbour flew F4 phantoms . now drives a 757 and thinks it is great fun .

Let me rephrase that then. If you can't tell the difference by just driving normally on any road then you don't need the Bimmer.

Lexus = rolling couch.

I'll trade my M and buy it...

But let me save you some time.... it's not going to happen because it doesn't exist.

I think what repoman is saying is he would prefer to sit in his couch instead of fixing his X5 every week .

Yeah, probably and there isn't anything wrong with that. It would be boring if everyone liked/wanted the same things. Just pointing out that their is a significant difference between the two. Even in everyday conditions.

Hey guys I appreciate all the posts from my original rant about poor quality, I need some help, my air suspension is all the way up I posted a new thread if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it, Im beyond disapointed but right now buying a newer better car isnt in the cards so I have to try and fix as much as I can on my own, just did the rear window regulator saved about $400 thanks to the posts here, Im soo mad at BMW I truly wish I had the ability to take my 2001 3.0i baby and throw her right into headquarters CEOs office and make that SOB fix every damn defect the car has with regard to cheap parts that break all the time, in the meantime I cant drive my car like so anyone please HELP!!!
