330i2X5 is on a distinguished road
I didnt have a bad hit as I sold it privately and made only a $3k loss!!

I didnt have a "lemon" per se...the car was fine...but little quality issues , rattling, gaps at door panles...as I said and a few others had made me make this decision.....when you spend that kind of money AND on a BMW you dont expect these...

European and Japanese manufacturers have always been unhappy with the quality of their vehicles built in the USA....I also remember reading this report somewhere.....that doesnt take away from the USA, just the lack of discipline and standards that European/Japanese set for their employees in those respective countries.....if they DEMANDED the same tolerance levels from the NA cars compared to Europe I think we would all be happy.

I think South Africa ( Rosslyn ) at present is most well respected BMW factory...
Bottom Line IMHO : A LUXURY EUROPEAN CAR WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER QUALITY.

Im happy to move on and at least have the ability to say I once had an E70 !
