A Terrible Drive

For context: not sure how many reviewers here have actually driven this car before - I have been driving it as a rental car for 2.5 weeks and am so looking forward to returning it in a few days. Key problem areas: - jarring ride quality even in comfort - steering which requires constant corrections in both low speed and highway speed cornering - accelerator pedal very sensitive and therefore (I) jerky from stand still and (ii) hard to keep constant speed at highway cruising - seats are AWEFUL. Lower back pain (which I never get) kicking in after an hour of driving - speedometer clarity / design is terrible….you will end up only ever using the head up display On the plus side - pretty impressive fuel efficiency for a performance trim - built quality (much better than Mercedes’ e class - in my opinion anyways)…feels very premium - engine pull is good but not great What was BMW thinking to sacrifice on so many ends to put together a pretend performance car which isn’t even all that fast???

Alignment Failure

We have had 5 BMW vehicles in 7 years. Each vehicle's alignment gets out of alignment with only local drive and the worst part is we have replaced 5 sets of tires. Each vehcile required new tires at less than two years old and less than 29000 miles. Tires that hold up on other vehicles for 50, 000 MILES hold up for 25-29000 on BMW. The BMW electronic aligmment controls on their cars is wearing out tires. I have owned 42 cars in my life and we will never own another BMW. Its a problem that tired are lasting on 2 years or just shy on their cars.

Great acceleration, excellent visibility and a terrific turning radius. Lane centering combined with distance spacing cruise control makes long highway trips easy. Not so friendly electronics and self parking feature sucks.

Not as solid as 2019

I think there is little more road noise as compare to my 2019 x3. I am not happy about it. It feels more as car drive as compare to solid SUV drive. The doors are lighter and does have a usual BMW thump sound on closure. It drives well, only a week old no complaints. The changes in idrive are always painful and relearning. I am not sure that BMW brand is moving towards not maintaining some of it’s own standard or it’s just a change. I am upset the dealership did not give me OEM BMW mats as I expected. I should not have trusted them!
