I bought top of line BMW and all I can say is that I love this car.

I've had a few problems though.
* The valve train components appear to be very poor quality. The dealer has installed replacement parts but its still sounds loud.
* the stereo is awesome but they have replaced the main amp 3 times now. It just seems to go out without warning.
* I've had trouble shifting and the overall drive train seems sloppy. The dealer has replaced one particular part twice now and it's looks like its doing it again.
* From a performance standpoint I had to add performance exhaust, a tuning device and have a special tuning tech do some work on it before it would run properly.
* Even after all this performance work the car still seems to run very hot.

I only have 20,000 miles on it and its been in the shop multiple times creating all sorts of headaches with getting it to the shop. Not to mention I've missed quite a few nice weekends waiting to get the car fixed.

Do you think I should sell it and buy another brand?

Oh, sorry about the post, I thought this was the M5 forum site. Hopefully your top of the line CVO's don't have these kind of issues.  :o

As an old friend once told me: "Perspective is Everything"


 I looked at the BMW, awesome for sure but chose the the baddest American SUV on the planet instead. The 2014 SRT.
392" Hemi, 470 HP, 8 speed, all wheel drive and all Mopar. I'm digging this thing a Lot.
If your serious about rolling out of the Beamer, get a test drive in one of these. About 30K less too.
Enough to get a new 2014 Limited 103.  :2vrolijk_21:

Sorry Willy, I'm an idiot, I was thinking of the X5, Beamers SUV. You bought the M5, something really baddass! Not sure what matches this in the American cars.

A CTS-V with a little work to it can bring over 700 hp and still stay under the M5 pricetag, but if I had a choice I'd go with the M5 anyway. Beautiful car.

A little forced induction can do wonders, even to the Jeep.

BMW's aren't designed to go fast in a straight line?
