He hates his car and that has effectively clouded any other perceived positives. He needs to dump it and move on...

On the issues with Active Driving Assist. I thought mine just ping ponged back and forth in the lane as well until I realized, that was just lane keeping assist. Once in radar cruise, have to hit the mode button until the steering wheel icon appears above the radar distance. Held the lane pretty good that way. Just a thought. Hoping I wasn't alone in that. lol...

I hope the OP finds what he's looking for and I know how he feels. This purchase is a lot of money, don't care if you/we are millionaires and can easily afford to pay cash. It's gonna be real hard for us to give up our Lexus RX350 and going to this X5 with all the bugs scares the helluva out of me. In 6 years of ownership I literally did no "repairs" other than change the windshield wipers. Would love the XC90 but read too many reliability horrors. |

As far as the a/c goes, have you checked your back a/c? Maybe it's pumping out heat while the front is trying to cool. My back right vent is doing that and has to go in for service to fix it.

It's smooth, no question. Just not really enthused with it. Gets a bit zingy sounding when a foot is put in it. I'll admit I'm pissed off with other aspects of this car and BMW's support, which is making me grumpy and probably too nit picky on the motor.

Come on man. Someone can't be critical of the product without dismissing it as somehow not real criticism?
I wanted to love this vehicle. I have 80000 reasons to need to love it. It's the third X5 I've owned, having now given BMW over $200000 over the last 12 years for the pleasure of driving off in their product. I've been a fan since the 2002tii. |

For what it’s worth, I went from loving mine to not loving it after one of the wheels went out of balance. (Ran over something in the road) Didn’t seem like the same vehicle. Got it rebalanced and loved it again. Don’t know if that’s relevant here, obviously.

That was my guess. There are so many things in the review that can't be based on real life experiences. I was thinking a troll just to get people riled up.
Maybe for some reason he got a tremendous lemon, if that is the case I hope he can either get things fixed or just move on. |

Don't waste your money on the Q7 like we did. Got rid of it in 2 months. The shortest I've ever owned a vehicle.

Sorry you hate it. Too bad you didn't test drive the car extensively. In 5 minutes you could have figured out the the things that bug you. My experience is exactly opposite of yours. We picked it up in Spartanburg and 1/2 way through a cross-country drive back to California. I've owned BMWs since '88 and this one is by far the best BMW we've owned. You sound so pissed it does not seem like your unhappiness is reversable. So, you should cut your losses and sell it and go buy a proper car. Clearly, BMW is not it. By the way, calling the power of the X5 40i meh makes your post sound like a run-of-the-mill troll post. I'm sure you are not a troll and have ligitimate complaints, but complaining about X5 40i power is just plain silly. This car does 0-60 in 5.3 seconds officially and 4.9 seconds according to one car mag testing. Meh is not an accurate word to decribe that speed for a 5000 pound vehicle. Good luck on your next car. At the very least, test drive it first. |

You are not the first Q7 ex owner I have come across.
