BMW really needs to work on quality. I've heard of poor paint quality and not-well-fitted interior pieces on almost every new BMW recently. I've read plenty from magazines and independent reviewers that say the paint quality on the X5 needs improvement........it's a bit rough so they say.

We tried an Audi today (YES that's right. Matt brought his parents into the Audi dealership intentionally. Not mistaken for the BMW dealership next door ) and it was faily impressive. I say its about 85% of a BMW performance for about 85% of the price. The interior's a lot better too, albeit a bit dated. The A3 we tried as better than expected. I knew the 2.0 engine and DSG would be good, but not this good.

US quality? I dunno. My 2003 M5 (German made) is in the shop so often that the mechanic and I have become good friends. The NAV has been replaced 4 times now. You do not buy a BWM for reliability, because it sucks for most part. My m5 is my fun driver (along side my new C6 Vette). My daily driver is a Toyota (Japanese made 4runner).
