Anyone have one yet?
Looking for a new car for the wife, had decided on the Genesis GV80. Got screwed on a few different deals from different dealers and put a bad taste in my mouth on the whole brand. Have a friend who works at a BMW dealership, checked out the X5 and fell in love.
BMW has the XDrive45E option that adds an electric motor to the 3L turbo straight 6 that can get 30-40ish miles of range (my wife's hospital is 27 miles from home). The hybrid option works out to be about $3500 more than the standard one and qualifies me for a $7500 tax credit.
Is there something that I am missing?
(Also, save it if you're just going to talk about BMW maintenance horror stories. I have had mechanical faults from every vehicle I have owned across a good spectrum of brands, my mom had an x3 when i was a kid that was fine just with regular scheduled maintenance)
