Worst decision I’ve ever made was purchasing a used X5 diesel, two months in and my experience has been the worst ever with a vehicle, in two months the vehicle has cost me 4K dollars in attempted repairs and is now sitting at a dealership with major engine and drivetrain malfunctions. Do yourself a favor don’t buy a used BMW!

Go Diesel, it’s by far the best engine in the class and with the right selection of packaging you’ll be very happy with it!!!! Premium seating is a must! $3,100 extra, but it’s worth every penny, I made the mistake of not getting it and totally regret it ever since.

Mechanics , looks and driving experience are great. However, the plastic interior parts are cheap . The seat controls are a cheap plastic with imprecise movements. The door inserts have sharp edges. For a few dollars the same pieces could be made to have a quality feel like all of my Mercedes do.

My first and last BMW

I really wanted this car. I like the look and the drive was nice. But I tote my kids around and spend a lot of time in the car. The technology stinks. It looks very fancy but is a lot of clicks and turns to get things done. Very distracting. Also, connecting to my iphone is awful. I still have to control everything but phone calls on my iphone. That requires me to look at my phone, unlock it and mess with it while I am driving. What good is handsfree if it is only to make calls. Don't get me started on how podcasts and audiobooks go back to the beginning if you are unlucky enough to receive a call while listening.
