Anyone here had a long road trip with x5?

I was in a situation where my 70 yo mother (who typically drives a hybrid Lexus) had to drive me home in my 50i. Bless her heart, it was hilarious.

I went to Cabo San Lucas with my x5. It was about 3500 miles, and it was pretty ok. I read a lot of information before (https://www.travelsafe-abroad.com/mexico/cabo-san-lucas/), about the road rules, safety, and much more, so be sure to be prepared. The trip was great and funny because I was with my best friend, and Mexico is a fun destination. I didn't have any issues with the car itself, and besides gas, I didn't do pretty much anything to it. I don't think you have something to worry about, so hit the road.

If you’re worried about bugs, fill a spray bottle with straight peroxide and get a microfiber towel. Spray on, wipe off...no more bugs.
