Most comfortable and stable car I have ever owned

This car is beautiful. When comparing it to other brands in the same class, it offered many more features, for the cost. the driving experience is outstanding. It is a very quiet and comfortable experience.

Equal to or better than a Mercedes.

I put every option my Mercedes has and BMW did a better job. Overall a step up from my Mercedes. You need to simplify how to use ALL THE ELECTRONICS. To much—too complicated. I think the only one that knows how to operate an understand them is the designer.

Excellent performance, comfort and fuel economy

The new mild hybrid 6 cylinder engine is phenomenal. I routinely get 25 mpg in mixed driving with impressive performance. Very comfortable and roomy front seat (better than Audi Q7). Very comprehensive info-tainment system, but still learning after 5 months. Door locking/tailgate protocols are confusing. Choice of exterior colors disappointing. Overall, however, best car I have ever owned.

Best vehicle I've owned and must reliable

This car meets all of my needs. I'm a mom of 2 boys so it's perfect for moms. Vehicle is reliable and drives smooth. My boys fall asleep fast. It has a quiet cabin. I just love the handling of the car as well. Gas does phenomenal! I would purchase again!

Impressive car

I am satisfied and that ain't easy. Quiet, quick and quite comfortable.V6 engine is more than enough for normal driving and the mileage is not bad

So far most technologically vehicle advanced vehic

It drives great, plenty of room and awesome amount of features. The vehicle really caters to the driver and the experience. It’s extremely responsive when you apply power

InLove

I love the vehicle but the kick lift gate doesn’t always work. Other than that, I made the right decision choosing this BMW and this specific dealer.
