Thinking out loud: It'll stop when I sell it!

These are not my first BMW's and I love driving them. I've had many other suv's. Most of them are MUCH better in snow and off road and most of all MUCH more reliable. But I've said it many times , like you say , once you get back behind the wheel after a FIX , it's love again. ADDICTIONS are never a good thing.

Then why did you chose a BM Trouble U? Even though people like to make fun of FORD (Fix Or Repair Daily) my 93 Ford Ranger pickup truck has been one of my most reliable car/truck in the fleet. I put up with unreliability in the PORSCHE and Lotuses because they are TOYS and not really meant to be daily drivers, but this BMW has been one of the most unreliable vehicle I have ever own.

I can ask you the same thing: why did you chose the X. And why keep up with it?

To answer your question , I have always been satisfied with all my other BM's especially my M3 with zero problems as surprising as it may sound.

Needed another tow vehicle that could carry the entire family. I use the pickup truck if it just me, but with the wife and kids I needed a larger vehicles. Wife doesn't drive stick so she wouldn't be able to drive any of the toys if we go to the lake with the boat or jetskis.

You still trust the most unreliable ( like you said) of your fleet as a family car?
Thats another major concern of ours ( wife, daughter and I ) , we are loosing trust in them ( both X's).

Never said I trusted the BM Trouble U. That's why I have a AAA membership. The truck and all the other toys are just use for pleasure. Neither the wife nor I need a car to get to work. Once the weather is warm enough I will be back on my fleet of road bikes.

Can't wait for spring to take the KTM bike out and park this cage for a while.

I must be extremely lucky. My X has not been high maintenance. Never had a Lotus but have had 2 Porsches and both of the them were also very reliable.
