I don't know about quality since I haven't spent significant time in a E70, but he might be referring to build quality such as misaligned panels or gaps.
He sounded like he was talking about quality issues not delays, etc., although he wasn't specific.
Unfortunately the American made X5 is probably no match quality wise against the German made M5 but I don't understand how someone wanting an X5 would then switch to an M5 since they're totally different vehicles.

If you did a search on his previous posts, you'd find out that he isn't pleased with how slowly the X5 is coming out in Europe.

Let us know what you mean about quality issues. I just got out of my friend's 07 4.8 and everything looked top notch to me.

Of course it was dark out, but still.

all I know is nearly half of the GERMAN made E46's M or otherwise, had their weatherstripping fall off. At least the "American made" X5 got the glue right
