That X5 is pretty good as far as driver controls and driving experience. The interiors are really good. That's got the B58 engine in it that religiously turns itself into a trade in after 80k. Planned obsolescence is a thing and it's getting worse. The current version of that engine is a nightmare. The VVT is now electric motors instead of oil pressure controlled phasers. The exhaust valves have lifters that can be deactivated and that was a nightmare with tons of cylinder head replacements last year. They now come with port and direct injection supposedly for fuel efficiency but I suspect it's to keep the oil donuts from forming on the back of the intake valves. Many new gas engines are coming with gas particulate filters too which will be $6000+. All the techs from different brands talk to each other and nothing is really built reliable anymore. I tell everyone the same thing, drive everything, buy what you like but BUY THE WARRANTY! My wife is a service advisor and has several customers that will spend almost anything to keep their pre 2018 diesels on the road but its getting very hard to do.

The diesel mileage is pretty crazy. A 3 series with a 16 gallon tank would have almost a 600 mile range. All the BMW's had the CP4 pump and we did them so often I got to where I could swap everything fuel touches from tank to injectors in about 9 hours.
I actually had the very first B57O in north america diesel system failure.
No, just disagreeing about your assessment of the people fleeing the state.
Did you just explain my own joke to me and explain it wrong? Lol
He was given the medals by the recipients, he has the medals in his possession. People send them to him from all over the world.
