Detailed review: |
I've owned this car for just over a year and there is no other SUV that drives likes this one does. It is powerful, quick and catlike in its demeanor. The brakes are unbelievable. However, the car does bounce, compared to high-end luxury CARS. It also has horrible gas mileage and an extremely skimpy back seat. Cargo space in this luxury SAV is small, to say the least.
Also, after purchasing the car, I discovered that the navigation system is horribly small and extremely NOT user friendly. I'm quite adaptable and technologically savy, but this navigation system stretches my limits and then some.
The dealership I servicED my X5 at, SHELLY BMW in BUENA PARK, CA, is the worst dealership I have ever been to. They have lied and been extremely rude to me. They also dented my $65,000 SAV and then tried to make up for it by installing a '$700.00' grill guard. I confronted them with the fact that the guard was ONLY $395 (from their own magazine). |
