Thanks. If she hasn't finalized the purchase of the BMW, I'll send this to her. Gerry Karl Wittnebel wrote: > We had a 2018 x5d that ate its fuel pump twice in 8000 miles. We told BMW > we had no confidence in it. They gave us all the money we had paid on the > lease and the money for the factory

Bingo! I think you could call my daughter and her husband "upper middle class". They buy the cars they want and pay for repairs without complaint. I'm happy for their financial success, but I could never live like that. Gerry > Somehow I doubt that Gerry's daughter has the same idea as most

We had a 2018 x5d that ate its fuel pump twice in 8000 miles. We told BMW we had no confidence in it. They gave us all the money we had paid on the lease and the money for the factory hitch and all weather floormats I had put into it. So we drove it free for 6 or 8 months. I was very glad to see

BAT doesn't want her 12 year old mommy wagon. Maybe if it was in AMG63 trim, but never a GL320. However somebody here might want it for more than trade in value. I don't think Craig and Shirley are looking for one any more, but IIRC a 2007 CDI isn't a bad engine to have.

The quest for a vehicle continues unabated for me. Since all the new offerings consist of hard plastic and dreck made from recycled pop bottles and newspaper, they probably will rot out and suffer electronic failure within a few years of each other. Confronted with that limitation, the

Daughter, who has a 2007 Mercedes GL320cdi SUV, is thinking about buying a new BMW SUV and selling her Mercedes SUV. Has anyone heard anything good or bad about BMW's current models or recent BMW models in general? Also, what is the best way for her to sell her Mercedes SUV? I'm wondering
