X5 5.0 V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 105,000 miles

I just want BMW to know that the 2011 X5 I purchased pre-owned almost 2 years ago is the biggest piece of crap automobile I have ever owned, and it is now causing my family financial ruin because it cannot be driven, I cannot sell it like it is, and I owe almost $26,000 dollars on it!

The electrical system failed once and it was supposedly repaired at a cost of over $2,100 dollars, the front axle sheared off while I was driving with my young daughter, it burns oil and smokes terribly and I have to pour a quart of oil in every 500 miles or less, the rear glass exploded and the rear power door struts failed, and I can go on and on.

I will make it my mission now to leave damning feedback on every BMW forum and owner opinion site I can find!

I want to thank BMW for single-handedly ruining my family's finances!
