Look for the thread on the X5 catching fire by itself in the neighbours garage, theres no way i would risk burning my house down cus of that german POS. As for honda SUV theres no way id get that because hondas have bad auto trannies. Toyota 4 runner is first choice

Yes i have driven many german cars. Would you drive a car (X5) that catches fire?
Have you looked at the resale values of different manufacturers? Why is toyota on top? And why are german cars (Audi etc) at the bottom with american cars? Simply because they are unreliable.

The X5 is sick, it has as much chance of burning your house down, as you have spontaneously combusting while driving it. Plus will get you way more madd respect still y0!

German cars have more of a chance of it happening due to its electrical problems

you can see bmw has one of the top resale values in the industry
a bmw is 400 times the car a honda or toyota will ever be, the few odd problems people experience are nothing in comparison
i have owend a 2003 3-series for 6 months now. i have not had a single problem. based on previous history of the vehicle, all it had were oil changes and factory scheduled inspections.
that is 3 years of reliable operation, no fires, no electrical problems
but wait.. in your idiotic opinion i should have been burned to death right now

would you like a tissue?? :cry:
HAHAHA 3 years of reliability? A Yugo lasts that long without any problems whats your point? Just wait a few more years. I've had my car for 3 years now and gets the snot beaten outta it and still not a single problem, doesnt burn any oil and has almost 300k on the odo. While 3 of my friends, which had a 97 330, 95 740, and a 91 318 all of had big problems with electrical. Coincedence no? Mercedes are even worse for electrical and VW is up there with them. All of which ranging from dead shorts in the tail light assemblies to HUD going haywire.

I could care less about either of these vehicles this post is about...
Just over-expensive gas-hogs for socker-moms....
I don't really like SUV's...especially ones that can't to squat off-road...(ie: the bmw's and benz's)
Waste of money IMO.
Don't get me wrong....I LOVE the newest M5 and the M3's....and the newer benz cars....etc...very nice!
But having driven the SUV's from both companies....They fell far short of my expectations for the amount of money you'd pay for one.......lame!
I'd much rather spend the money on a C6 ZO6 or similar...
