I'm done with BMW...had it with the non-stop issues. Picked up the X5 from BMW w/out any repairs and drove the Cadillac dealer...left with a CTS V coupe...much happier now.

Question Odd tire wear...normal?

Both rear tires wore out the inside of the tire...$2500 for four new tires...not happy. Is this normal wear on the X5?
