Cancelled the X5 for the M5
So many delays and problems with my order... The production quality was not up to BMW's normal standards either. A greatly concieved vehicle but execution has been less than the concept. I cancelled today after seeing two vehicles delivered that I would not of accepted. Piss poor workmanship can be purchased at a much more reasonable price.

Price jump and a totally different ride. Good luck with the M, I'm sure SAN will have some things to add.

I agree with current X5 quality issues, which is why I am waiting until 2008MY release in September. Hopefully BMW will have worked out these issues by the 2nd year of production. If not...well I don't know.

I'm darned close to doing the same thing. I've never been so mad at BMW.

What type of production and quality problems are you seeing? Can you give specific examples?

Well, production has been a sore point for the E70. Its been over 7 months since the E70 started production, and they're still dealing with color limitations, delayed production, bankrupt suppliers, and broken promises. They messed up big time.

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.

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
