I agree that BMW reliability and quality control is well below where it should be; however, I still do not understand your contention that the X5 handles no better than a Tahoe.

you might never understand what he means .
in my teenage years I happened to mention to some friend of a friend that my Honda 250cc single cylinder bike could beat a Honda 400/4 cylinder on the twisty roads , the friend of a friend asked if I would like a cup of tea whilst I waited for a friend of his to arrive on his 400/4 to challenge my statement .
I agreed and 15 minutes later this (cock ) who would later become a multiple British and European sports bike champion showed up , looking me over in a condescending manner .
so the start / finish point was agreed and it was agreed that no suicidal riding would take place but that rule was soon forgotten by the (cock ) when he realised he was never going to beat me and despite him passing me in a suicidal fashion repeatedly after I had safely passed him , I still won .

Nice story. Perhaps you shouldn't have given up on your motorcycle riding. If this "cock" when on to become "a multiple British and European sports bike champion" you could have become Scotland's answer to Valentino Rossi. I think you have missed your calling...

well I never really felt the need to impress people with my ability.
some of the geezer crowd did try to encourage me to take up racing but I never did enjoy parting company with the bike and sliding along the tarmac on my butt .
happens frequently to the best of them .
that cock has some serious problems with his attitude though and so do some of the other champion riders .
the cock had to resort to passing me by taking the wrong side of the road on blind corners on humps , he was airborne a few times .
I preferred to ride along at my own pace even if that was at the limit sometimes .

Why so modest? You were obviously a champion in the making...
