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.
