CAR Magazine reviews X5M50d

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
It got overall 5 out of 5 stars which is rare for CAR magazine rating. Read it in hard copy at home, just got posted on the internet. First real positive review about this car, although almost all comments (in the last two issues) were quite bad about the car.

If $$$ were no issue, I'm sure you can order almost anything from Europe to make the F15 close to Euro-spec as possible here in NA.

Is there anything our European brethren are jealous of from NA? It always seems to be one way.

The fact that we pay a SIGNIFICANT percentage less for the car to start with, and that we pay about 1/4 of the price for fuel

True true true...but I was talking about car parts, not the whole car itself or the fuel that goes in it.

As said, just the fuel, and the fact that a 50i will be probably have the same Total Cost of Ownership for you guys, as a 2.5d here in the UK. We get ProNav as standard, MSport package includes adaptive M Suspension, Driving Assistance Plus includes Traffic Jam Assistant, High Beam Assistant has the fancy selective beam tech, Park Assist(?) which brakes as well as steering the car.
