Positive Review

"Best and most fun vehicle I've ever owned."

I leased this car for three years, and it was so great, I purchased it from BMW. Great handling, power, such a sweet package. I've owed about 10 bmw (Three X-5s: 4.4,4.8 and the M), several MBs, and other high-end vehicles, and By far it has been my favorite car of my life.

Critical Review

"Worst vehicle I have every owned,expensive repairs"

This was my first BMW, expected more from this auto manufacturer since BWM is a luxury vehicle. I was in the shop for many repairs during the warranty period. My major issues started after warranty expired. I needed to replace the radiator, followed by water pump, thermostat, fuel gauge, brakes were fixed many times and had 3 sets or run flat tires by 60 thousand miles. No one ever tells you that these tires need to be replaced every 20 thousand miles. The car was a beauty but it will be the last BMW I will every buy. The rear camera was the worst I have ever seen it had poor resolution and stayed on while I drove forward. The voice connectivity was poor, I could never use it.

Love the car. It was great until a Ga police officer hit me in the rear and Geico insurance won’t pay to have it fixed properly

Fabulous

Best vehicle we’ve owned. Great mileage with the diesel. Very few problems overall and we’ve owned the car for over six years. Still looks great.

My wife loves it..but
Pros

Great to drive

Cons

Very expensive to keep once the warranty is gone.

My wife loves this car and wants another one. However BMW's have got to be one of the poorest quality cars on the planet. They are nice to drive and attractive to look at. But very expensive to keep once the warranty is gone. If you like BMW's you don't like to keep your money. If you want a reliable car buy a Ford F150/250
