What was wrong with the new X5?

Captain Beefheart · 11-25-2008, 08:38 AM

I've had 2 new Audi's, good luck.......

cn555ic · 11-25-2008, 08:53 AM

Q7 us a hot ride especially if the third row is a necessity!! My wife wants that after the RX350 is up!

canucklion · 11-25-2008, 08:57 AM

long time no talk, chesmu. Hope all's well with you

Seminole · 11-25-2008, 09:01 AM

Enjoy your new ride! Hope to see you back in the BMW family in the future.

BK · 11-25-2008, 09:55 AM

Best of luck! FWIW, I have 3 kids, but can't bear to part with the E90. I'll just carry two at a time.

Of course, we do have another vehicle as our "family driver."

Aurora Bearialis · 11-25-2008, 09:58 AM

I really like those Q7s. Haven't driven one or been driven in one, but they look great. Good Luck

There are some stupid low deals on Q7s right now...what were you able to get? I think I saw one for $12K off.

purplewidow · 11-25-2008, 10:30 AM

i really dislike the q7.. it doesn't even pt a pimple on the bmw in terms of power and handling and it looks like ass..but if the wife says so i guess your screwed.. i don't know why 3 people in an e90 esp kids is tough though..plus the gas mileage on the q7 vs the x5 is huge.. both twin turbo engines kill the audi.. and the new tq vectoring system in the x6 is now on the x5 which really makes a huge difference in handling and road feel.. just can't figure it out unless it was the deal of a lifetime.. the q7 looks too minivan like..the original x5 had those lines a little b/c the front end was small esp compared to the new x5 body.. good luck with the audi everyone i know here in the states has had big issues..though a few i know in europe haven't had one.. hope your luck of the draw turns out for the better!! again good luck and i hope those kids realize what your doing for them!!!

clickclickboom · 11-25-2008, 10:42 AM

Q7,,,lowering module & Rinspeeds!! Bam.

DenverJayhawk · 11-25-2008, 11:52 AM

Good luck. Those Audi's are nice. I've only got one kid, so the third row isn't a necessity yet.

Bimmerista · 11-25-2008, 01:19 PM

I really do like the Q7, if you need the 3rd row on a regular basis, the extra storage space behind it as compared with the X5 is a good thing.

Let us know how it goes.

Sorry you had to give up the e90 though - I am lucky, my wife drives the buss.......

just4kickz · 11-25-2008, 01:31 PM

enjoy!

stressdoc · 11-25-2008, 01:47 PM

My 3 big kids still fit in the 335. Honda Odyssey for long hauls, parties, etc.

Two words: car seats.

Once they are out of car seats, yes, they can all fit in the back. Until then, it's impossible.

rdsport323 · 11-25-2008, 03:03 PM

can the Q7 fit 4 sets of golf clubs?

Deda · 11-25-2008, 03:18 PM

good luck,but why not x5?!

positiveions · 11-25-2008, 04:02 PM

good luck. I know, family comes first.
