This is a great vehicle for someone who requires some power but doesn't want to give up luxury to do so. I think it has good styling, though it may not be for everyone. It is very comfortable and boasts all the latest electronics. It is very spacious, I'm 6'3" and fit comfortably into the rear seat. The "trunk" is spacious and features a split tailgate. The car is very quiet and the windows are large enough to easily see the traffic. It has only been in the shop for routine service and that was covered under the warranty. The gas mileage is poor but I have the largest engine they offer to tow my boat. It handles well and the ride is good but I can't help but feel that it is not up to BMW's usual standards. This is definitely not one of their sedans, it is very apparent that you are in a large SUV. It has plenty of power and giant brakes that can stop it very easily. Overall I would say it is a very good vehicle.
