Cancelled the X5 for the M5

[X5 Guy]

I have owned several BMW autos since 2000 and NONE have ever broken down. When I took my vehicle in for any problems... I was given a loaner to drive for as long as needed. And I have only taken the loaner 2 times in 7 years and that is because I did not want to wait.

If you do not think the MDX can break down..... think again. All vehicle makes have their problems so there is always a chance your going to break down.

However... I trust BMW and am not worried about something electircal failing to operate causing my to be without a vehicle.

You should read up on the vehicle that interests you.... but I would not add any weight to electronics failure in the X5 since a few more things have changed over.

Well, in speaking of X5 quality. I think I wouldn't be come here as often as I did since BMW agreed to buy back my X5.

I believe there is quality problem with X5. I had 2005 X5 4.4i and had so much problems. Every problem that you can find here and more.

On top of that, safety feature in X5 didn't work when it should work. Fortunately I didn't get involve in any accident. When I buy X5 safety feature were first thing that I was impress with. Safety feature is nothing unless it works.

I won't say I will never buy another BMW because I still like BMW.

I can't get into details but there are two things that I want to point out before I leave.

First of all, either minor or major, problem is problem. DO NOT wait when you have problem, call dealer and make them to check if there is any other problem relates to original(first) problem.

Secondly, make sure the date that you drop the car and pick up the car are correct. Trust me on this. Date is most important when you decide to request buy back.

I think I enjoyed performance aspect of BMW but quality was not as good as it should be with money that we spent. Some people might say how we determine btw good and bad quality. Well, we don't have to determine anything because you know what good and bad quality is.

I enjoyed this website very much. This is best website for X5. So much people know what they are doing here.

Maybe, I will come back again with another X5 but not now
