        Back row too tight and no a/c. We had the X5 before and the back rows were really uncomfortable. To me the BMW MPV back row is similar to the X5. Moreover, for a similar price point (maybe even lower, cannot rmbr the price) I get more space and comfort. Most prob easier resale too when the time comes.

            Ladies, I just scrapped my 10 year old BMW. It was a big hassle towards the end but overall was a good car. I enjoyed driving it very much.

              I was looking to switch to an MPV. Aging parents and me being the only driver among us sisters so an MPV makes sense. Waited with bated breath for the BMW MPV but was very disappointed.


              Booked and waiting for the Odyssey. Would have gotten the X3 if not for the need for more space. Was drooling over the Range Rover Velar but no lah. Parents will have problems getting in and out. Still the Jap MPVs more practical.

              Would you think you could adapt to driving a non BMW after so many years?
              Hubby seems to be affixed on BMW car.

                using a toyota vios for the past 5 years. practical and petrol consumption is reasonable.

                  Haha. I know some people have this fixation. Once driven a conti car they don't want to go back to driving Jap cars. Think it is a status symbol thing. DH is also like that.

                  I've had conti and jap and conti and jap. Owned VW, Audi, BMW, interspersed with Toyota and Honda. I will get whatever make sense for my needs at that moment. If I can afford, I may go a bit flashy just for the fun of it but at the end of the day, the car has to address my needs. So for now, I need more seats or more boot space bcos of the dog, easy access for my parents and comfort for all. And since I am driving the MPV, DH can indulge his everlasting midlife crisis and go for a coupe or convertible :razz:

                    Initially, I wanted the Prius but took the 2011 Mazda 2 instead.My Mazda 2 consumes a bit more petrol as I fitted a turbo kit and sports muffler to make it more sporty.

                    My wife has always gets the jitters when she hears the sound of the turbo hissing and the sound coming from the sports muffler when I drive her haha.She thinks I am speeding haha.But I always keep to the legal speed limit.

                    Maybe I was not too familiar with the Prius back then.
