Bhahaha!!! I'll be sure to do that buddy..meanwhile since your frantically editing your posts and re-editing again, how about you check your own English first you idiot..

When does this guy learn? Next he's going to tell us that X5's are actually faster while driving in reverse....:rofl:

Penguin..the guy is delusional and possibly mentally handicapped.. Clearly at this point you know his "results" to which we are all so curious about, don't exist or are heavily fabricated..

My dad has a Tahoe, I have an X5... so I have much experience with both as I do all the work on both.

I'll bet you can't guess which one has better accelloration, braking, overall stability at speeds, ability to corner at speeds, more responsive steering feel/ratio, tows heavy trailers better, better driver and passenger comfort, self leveling suspension, HID lighting to see clearly at night without blinding oncoming traffic, dynamic stability control that looks at more angles/forces than the other, ABS controlled 4x4 which allocates power to wheels with most grip in low traction situations vs path of least resistance, etc. etc. etc.

And for safety, which has the best designed crumple zones? Which has the most airbags? Which has seat belt pre-tensioners? Which has airbag system to disconnect battery power in event of accident to prevent electrical fires? Safest with child seats in the back? Which is considered one of the safest vehicles on the road to put your family in?

I can honestly say the Tahoe needed more in repairs within the first year of ownership than the X5, both bought in similar age and mileage.

So to recap, the ONLY thing the tahoe has over the X5 in my family's stable is interior cargo room. And every test done on either vehicle by any reputable car testing type of magazine and/or tv show has put the X5 in a higher class of vehicle than the tahoe and proves it with all the test statistics.

^^ thank you Weasel...And there you have it...Not that any of us ever questioned it..Except for........enough said.

LOL . . . I read this entire thread and it went from how many stars JD Power gave for BMW quality to flipping qualities of the Tahoe vs X5. This thing was seriously hi-jacked.

To the OP, I can see where the X5 might have recieved a lower rating for quality having owned one for the past few years.

To the "fanboys" (not trying to offend, just repeating what I read), I can see your points of view too on why you favor the BMW name.

To zumbalak, like I was told by some forum members . . . life's too short to be unhappy. Do what I am doing . . . see below.


I'm in the middle of dealing away my X for another Lexus strictly for the reason that I don't have the time to devote to the constant repairing of my X (full time job). I've been looking for about 2 months but couldn't find any dealer that would give me anything more than peanuts for my X. I finally found a sucker though and hope to be in my new RX350 by eow. I'm smiling again :D:D:D:D:D and making plans for the weekend that don't involve working on the X for the first time since my X purchase. Life is good again!!!!!

I know where you are coming from zumbalak but you won`t get much empathy from the fanboys .
weird thing is , quality took a slide on most high end cars whilst the crappy cars improved ( there is a word to describe this phenomenon but I can`t remember ).
The posers and 30k millionares are referred to as cocks , they all drive Audis now but will change their colours whenever someone tells them some car is the dogs bollocks , same as they need to have the latest designer wear to pose in .

all that stuff you said about handling , I know what you mean , makes no difference how good or bad a car is if you know how to drive like The Stig or have any degree of skill .
It is depressing to discover the X5 you bought is a piece of shit but most people joining this forum soon realise how to sort the problems and continue to enjoy the car they bought for it`s comfort and safety features .
continue to rant if it makes you feel better .
I`m sure BMW read some of this stuff and I like to see them getting deserved criticism .

ftgambit,

did you come on this forum just to bash the BMW X5, youre in the wrong place dude.

try the audi forum.

and btw, my mom and i both have an X5, great car, yes i agree there are some maintenance issues, but the performance outweights the little problems

my family also used to have a Mercedes ML320, that thing was a piece of CRAP!. so by saying BMW is worse than mercedes, you are way off

:yikes: and repoman sums it all up

found some sucker to take the X5 off his hands .:wow:

Eloquently put amacman . . . I always enjoyed reading your posts.:kissass:

Edit: I was meaning to quote your earlier post but for some reason the quote disappeared.

This one.
