Some of these are endemic across the line, others are limited to our specific vehicle. We have had 15+ BMW's over the last several years and this is only the second with any major issues. It is very clear that they rushed it to market before the SW functionality was fully QA'd.

That said, it is an absolutely beautiful vehicle and drives incredibly well. The new X5 and M5 really mark a return to form for BMW and I am anxiously awaiting the new M3 release. We are considering a Q8 as a replacement vehicle for our 2019 X5 since the issues have become too much and the true SW fixes will not be available until at least May/June. I assume that we will see some early adopter issues there as well, but hopefully not as severe.
