I see men driving these all the time. They usually have kids. I consider this to be a family car. Maybe a DILF ride.

Still no Android Auto, so that’s a no buy for me!

I feel like BMW vehicles have had the same or similar design for ages.

Why anyone would go to the (worthwhile) trouble of buying a bmw without a stick and rwd is beyond me. This x5 thing? It is for fools and the mentally deficient.

I see you want to play the thread smartass.


Ok then, name one BMW available for sale in the united states (better yet, on a dealership lot) with a manual transmission.

The only "real" BMW is BMW's first product, the R32...anything made after is for posers and badge whores:

The only mentally-deficient one here is the person who can't understand why a well-heeled family would buy a safe, spacious, and sporty SUV.

Sorry to hijack, but I’m interested in the Ascent. Do you have one? Anyone have personal al experience? Also considering highlander or pilot. What else am I missing?

I don't think you're going to get a ton of useful owner feedback beyond "I love my new car" as it just hit dealer lots. Assuming you want to keep it outside warranty get #1 Highlander or #2 Pilot. You'll get anecdotal "well my Subaru has lasted 10yrs with no major issues", but Subaru engines have a pretty long history of known defects. The Ascent has a turbocharged 4-cyl which is under much more stress in regular use and will not last as long as the V6 in the Highlander or Pilot.

Get the Audi Q7 instead.

Too common. Even more common than BMWs.

New one says “I’m a boring soccer mom”, old one says “I’m a boring soccer mom who can’t afford a new Q7”.

What about the dodge caravan? That’s a great family vehicle!

But they're much fancier inside (virtual cockpit anyone)

I’ll pass thanks.

I hope everyone else agrees with you so they can sell it to me for cheaper!
