Car & Driver Dec 2013 Review

It says, heavy steering, Auto start stop no longer jolts, no need for
x5M/E70 compared to x5/F15/50i and definitely trade in E70 for F15.

I find steering light, I do not use auto start stop. Owners manual still says premature part failure possible for auto start stop function. I assume even with the HD starter and spark plugs on gas models.

Thanks for sharing!

Possibly one of the worst written reviews I've ever read . This guy is obviously more focused on clever witticism than actually reviewing the car. His conclusion that people should buy the F15 because the door locking button was moved? WTF?

Car & Driver used to write actually well informed factual content - I think they're trying to turn themselves into "Top Gear", but failing...

The C& D in March and June were actually less informative in terms of a review, focusing rather on Specs, I did not note the reviewer.
