Hey brother, really appreciate your brutal honesty of this review. The BMW M cars and SUV's are very taxing on the body. That's why I changed to Audi, because of a more comfortable ride. Not in my 20's anymore.

Great review. The rear seat comment may actually get me to choose another model. Also agree on the AC. My G body m340i has pretty weak AC. Ceramic tint helped a ton with that.

I haven't been thrilled with AC in any BMW. Test drove a few X7s , and same issue. Never had trouble in any of the Audi models I owned (I live in the PHX desert!!). Tint definitely helps. Backseat is adequate but NOT great, if space is an issue definitely look at competitors. Q8 has a roomier backseat, but sacrifices trunk space. Thanks for stopping by !!

I have one in My garage now. I brought it home for a test drive. I have 48hrs to decide and I’m on the fence! 🥹 as far as get up and go, I’ll have to beg to differ on that one. I’m having to watch my lead foot because as soon as I tap on the gas, I’m getting whiplash. I do have to realize this is a luxury vehicle and that I’m not punching around no Dodge charger aroundTown. This ain’t that type of ride ♥️

@@thedesertroad the interior is a dealbreaker. Luckily I have a sandstone and a rich black color so it’s very chic. I did not like that camel brown Brady Bunch 1970s look. The interior seems a little dated, but otherwise I can get over it.
