Bye Bye X5

[Daka]

Sadly it's good bye X5. (Now to be for sale at only 66,000 miles)
We did quite enjoy the CPO 06 3.0 (bought in 09) but it had its problems....
BMW refused to CPO warranty the drivers door handle replacement, the tail light one replacement headlight igniter and an ignition switch that left me stranded. ($1500 worth of bills)
I had been looking for an 11 or 12 CPO (3.0) I could could not what I was looking for, pretty particular with colors and equipment.
A little bit smaller than the X5 but having taken delivery only 3 days ago it seems quite nice....a bit more "complicated" than older older technology Bimmer, but we are learning...(500 miles so far in 3 days)
There were 2 other "deciders" I am really quite annoyed that BMW has done away with the oil dip stick, and the spare tire.
So, for $1300, and $525 a month for 36 months we (she) is driving a 2014 GLK
Will we be back ??
Meanwhile I (35 year member of the BMWCCA) will still be driving my 01 Z3
More later
