Replying to: ms09 (Apr 04, 2007 7:58 am) I noticed that you haven't said anything about your own specific experiences with BMW. Some might interpret your challenge as meaning they should admit to something you imagined.  But, seriously, if you check the discussions of any of the other vehicles you're looking at you'll find owners who have serious problems with theirs. We certainly wouldn't conclude that "all models are trouble cars." tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper |

| Last year BMW produced a total of roughly 290,000 vehicles for the north american market. The full capacity of the Spartinsburg plant may be 500,000 vehicles for the entire year not for 5 months. Every car produced has a bad percentage. Consumer reports rated porsche the most reliable car built for 2006. They way the measure this is problems per 100 cars. Out of 100 Porsche had 92 problem free cars. That still leaves 8 bad ones. Someone has to get the bad ones. What makes a great manufacture is when they do the right thing, much BMW did with the 2002 7 series. The problem is many clients over inflate there issues and do not give the manufacture a chance to fix it. When you buy a new home do you have the oppurtunitty to return for nail pops? No. | |
| Guys u still wanna argue after reading guys buying new x5 and the brand new car goes dead in the middle of the road did u guys not read what (apbtlvrx4) said and what (freddyb) said??? But i have notice 1 thing which i want to say honestly i think whenever bmw or any other manufacture make a car i would say not all r the same some have defaults and some don't....(tidester) regarding to your message no i don't have a bmw and i don't have any experience with it... but my cousin does he owns a bmw 7 series since abt 4 years and well he hasn't had a single problem with it... But i know some other friends whos car is always in the garage | |
I THINK ALL OF YOU HERE ARE BMW CAR FANS ,,, SO U GUYS WOULD NEVER AGREE THAT BMW HAS ANY PROBLEMS THATS MY OPINION AND THATS WHAT I THINK... NO OFFENSE GUYS...

Replying to: cioccabmw (Apr 05, 2007 8:42 am) You're likely to have a problem or two with any vehicle that you buy. New cars are becoming so reliable that a couple problems per new vehicle on average will earn a manufacturer a below average rating. That is pretty damned good when you consider the complexity of modern cars. And so what if your BMW does have a problem? Get it fixed for free along with your free oil change and free wiper blades while you drive a free loaner car. Then go enjoy the vehicle. And for those who say only complainers and the unhappy post on these forums... I have had 5 new X5s since August of 2001. The first one, BMW's first ever SUV and a brand new model built in a brand new plant in SC, had a three minor problems that were fixed under warranty. After that, these X5s were completely reliable. I've been driving a 2007 X5 4.8i for 5 months with no problems. I am extremely happy with their reliability. (Now ask me about my 2002 745i... that's a different story for another day.)
