I grew up with X5s and my folks never got the Cayenne due to price and its compact interior. RR sport is more expensive and boring to drive. |

Really? BMW makes top ten isn't very surprising...
Top Ten Luxury SUV's: BMW Mercedes Porsche Lexus Infinity Acura ...and a few more... It would be shocking if BMW, Mercedes and Lexus didn't make that list. |

However, of course it's not that surprising that the X5 made the list, but they ranked it on the first place, |

It's just a point of reference in the collective of X5 reviews. If you've been paying attention over the decades you'd realize that CR peddles in reliability (allegedly) and so do outlets like JD Power. That's not what Motortrend, Car and Driver, Road & Track, etc. do. Keep it all in perspective.

JD Power is NOT a non profit, consumer oriented op like CR is. And "allegedly" by whom? Obviously by those that don't have a friggin clue. The year by year track vehicle records are a collection of what real world owners have reported over the years by model as reflected in bottom line aka OWNER RELIABILITY. It couldn't be more impartial, honest and transparent. Here's how CR measures, included is a BMW chart for your reading pleasure. April issue which updates all this will be out in a couple of weeks. |

A couple things to keep in perspective. Car manufacturers usually have press fleets which rotate on a weekly or biweekly basis to different media outlets/reviewers (in contrast, I believe CR buys their cars). It's possible and likely those reviewers don't experience the same bugs in a week of driving that an owner would. And outlets sampling from press fleets are simply not set up to have the same kind of data CR or JD Power does. It's also possible and likely that many owners don't experience bugs (I hope we're so lucky when we pick ours up later this month); don't forget there are thousands of these things hitting the road every month. It's not a denial of issues just some [optimistic] perspective.

I'm not sure what we'll do. If it's minimal, nothing. Since this is feedback that BMW has been aware of for months via documented owner complaints and since it should be a pretty straightforward process adjustment at the seat mfr. I'm hoping this issue has gone away. Ours was built 1/29 and we take delivery at the Performance Center on 2/22.

I still can't believe our local "Genius" tried to tell me "wrinkles are by design. As the car ages the leather will shrink". Bullshit....... |

I just hope our local BMW San Antonio holds themselves accountable for any issues and problems we might have with the car. That's not too much to ask no matter who the manufacturer is. So far they have been incredible, even honoring the bottom line as agreed upon in spite of some rebates changing in their favor. They even short changed themselves on the state sales tax calcuation. After the car club discount we got a total 11.9% off MSRP which aint too shabby. Right off the bat they came off MSRP to below invoice. Seems when one local dealership starts to discount brand new releases the other ones follow. |

I am convinced you could make a perfect vehicle with perfect reviews and people would still bitch about something like a bunch of cynical Gen Xer's. It's so popular to act like your not satisfied these days.

One of the latest shots is of a obvious glue line under the trim on a door. Pure and simple - it suggests BMW does sloppy work and is not fixing what's been screwed up before carrier assignment. |
