I bought a newBMW X5 3.0d automatic at the end of March. Seemed a great deal with comfort seats, panoramic roof, leather etc. However in the 5000 + miles since then I have been less than overjoyed with the amount of water which hits the seats on opening the doors ("they all do that sir") and the tendency of those harsh riding run-flat tyres to track across raised white lines, road undulations and repairs etc.

Add to that over 4 days to fit a towbar, a return to the garage through loss of power with an intake seal being faulty and needing replacing, a passenger seat which rattles away quite happily until it gets to the BMW garage, a cruise control which you haven't a hope in seeing without looking down to find it and a climate control which you can't fathom even when standing still, never mind cruising at 70 and you have me looking for the Discovery replacement already. Buy one if you have plenty of time to deal with irritating faults and BMW design "features" such as showers.
