Incredible power and smoothness, with good fuel economy. BMW makes a fantastic engine.
ZERO defects in material and workmanship from delivery to its current 20,800 miles. The car is simply perfect, every seam straight, every screw tight. Not a rattle or squeak to be heard.
It looks like a BMW, despite being an SUV. Somehow, it is sporty, aggressive and cute all at the same time. Style is a bit old now (out since 2004), but it has worn well and still looks terrific on the road today.
