As I wrote above, a BMW isn't a Toyota Camry, but then it doesn't drive like grandma's Camry either.
You probably would believe me just how many people when they sit in my X5 ask: so any major issues so far?
I am like: you want to walk rest of the trip?
Its an X5, so it is only a matter of time before they have to; My parents friends had one and it was flat bedded twice the first year they owned it.
They are driving a lexus now. Anecdote for sure, but they seem to add up with certain brands of cars.
It is probably a good vehicle for people with certain expectations, a bad vehicle for people with other expectations.
My neighbor had to flat bed Lexus RX 350 twice, so fa not my X5, although I am doing almost 30K a year.
Or as my mother in law would say once I bought BMW: oooo, our friends had it. Transmission died and they only drove it to church. I said: it died bcs. they only drove it to church. She still think I am making fun of church. BMW's are made to be driven not stored.
