What is happening to BMW

For years they ranked at the top. Was reading automotive news and
Audi is topping BMW. Googled best luxury SUV and BMW was way
down the list.

The way my 13 X5 is racking up problems, going to be hard to
stay with the brand. Forums posted repair cost out of warranty
are through the roof

What definition of "best" are they using?

The reports all seem to have similar criteria. What i look at is comfort, interior
amenities and usefulness, performance and reliability of daily driving. Most reports use
graphs, number ratings in various areas.

Whatever they use, BMW are falling down in the ranks

Happy owners are out driving their BMW's. Unhappy owners troll the forums for strength in numbers.

In reality owners are driving too work. In traffic, stop and go, or set on cruise
in the stream with all the other cars. Where are you going to ""Drive"" your
BMW and not be pulled over for erratic driving.

Since most people have the car for work and pleasure. Making time for dealership
trips and dealing with some young service writer is not fun of car ownership.

i have a 2005 V6 Touareg,much better than the X5 2005 model.
i test drove most cars and the Treg was much much better, more luxurious and fun to drive.
I also have a 2007 X3 2.5 si with huge amount of problems.
BMWs are overrated.

If you have a 2013 it should still be under warranty. Why not take it in and get your problems corrected or exercise the Easy solution; trade it in for something you like better, that you feel will cost Less to maintain over time. Either way complaining won't accomplish anything.
