im sure there are a few more repairs. i can tell you this though. i've never gotten out of the repair shop for less than $500. i ve owned benz too still do but the "suv" is not as good as the bmw "sav"
i cant buy GM cus they took bail out money. dont really like fords. acuras are whimpy. i bet this is how Tucker got started.

I would have thought that the problem with a Ferrari as a daily driver is more to do with practicality and functionality than reliability.

To all those that bought a "Used X5"...I have two words that will save you alot of money. Are you ready? "Extended Warranty"
Another 2 word advice is "Independent Mechanic".

If you have both those, then you're gold.

i drove a ferrari as a daily back when i was a single "player" . granted the car was brand new so for the most part i had no trouble. just 1 clutch in 20,000 miles. of course the maintenance is brutal $ wise. and it kills the value putting all the miles on.
