Yeah, it was very confusing because every person I spoke to gave me a different answer. I had called several dealers in my area. Some would say it's one year or 15k....whichever came first. Some...

Before we bought our X5, we also were down to the MDX and the X5. But, after seeing both SUV's in person, there was no question which one was a "luxury" brand. Now, the MDX is still nice. However,...

OP,
As others have stated, if you're looking for a reliable and cheaper to repair SUV, then go with the MDX. If you're looking for a nicer, more luxurious, better performing/handling, and better...

I don't think the LATCH system is necessarily "safer". However, since studies have found that most ppl do not correctly install baby seats in their cars, then the LATCH system is "safer" in...

I read somewhere that the X5's have curtain side airbags. So, it's not a concern with young passengers. It's only the front airbags that's a danger for young or small passengers.

Wheels are SWEEEETTTT!!!!

I have to agree though. The fitment of the body kit in some areas isn't great. Maybe it's the camera angle and more pronounced due to the car color?

SUV's without roof racks look like minivans or vans to me. But, like what ppl have stated, it's a matter of personal preference.

As far as being easier to wash the car without them, I don't...

Yeah, I hope it's okay. Considering that it's a $60k car, I would hope that 4-8 ounces of the wrong coolant isn't going to cause serious damage. That would be kind of sad!
