So, I bought her a BMW X5. She hated it. She backed it into my truck,
backed it into my boat trailer and backed it into a tree. Then she got
backed into by a Federal Express semi and that was the end of it.

Never drove the M5, but looks like it is one of those cars where the
visibility to the back sux.


It does. Bad blind spots. Other than that, it's a great vechicle except it
shares a common BMW problem. There are so many electronic devices running
even with the engine off that the batteries go dead if you don't drive them
for a month or so.
They should supply a battery maintainer with every BMW or build them into
the car and tell you to plug it in if you are going on vacation.

Maybe this is true with all cars now-a-days ... I don't know. My F-350
Powerstroke can sit for months and it always starts, but it has two, big
honkin' batteries in it.

I'm not sure what you mean by continuing to rave. They write up a test
comparison of a set of vehicles, medium family sedans, for example. One car
comes out on top, or maybe there's a tie. Then, the next month, they're
rating something else. They've never, in my experience, continued to rave
about an auto after posting that year's test results.

Now for a serious topic: Which floorplan did you get on your Plateau?
Here's a site with the current floorplans. (Although you'll have to click
on models and then floorplans to see them.

Also, if you don't mind, why did you choose the floorplan you did? Having
had yours for a while, what options would you not have bought or wish you
would have bought?

Thanks.
