I traded my 2020 rx for a 22 x5 and i have no regrets such an improvement overall, better ride, better tech, top notch quality and overall better pride of ownership. My first BMW and probably not my last

...And the only problem I have with German cars is they have the best driving dynamics, are built like tanks and usually have slightly thicker gauge metal panels/thicker paint and more sound deadening material, superb sound systems..and drive flawlessly when new! Buuuuut, unless you're more than a 6 figure earner and do not care what the maintenance and parts cost, and money is not an issue... those cars will break the bank after 4 - 6 yrs of ownership. Still great cars though!

New ones aren’t built like a tank. Not a single BMW could last in the shithole i reside in. Nor a single American or korean car for that matter either. The japanese are leagues and bounds more durable than others, it’s not even worth making any comparisons.

Since 2016 BMW cars especially with the B58 and B48 have proven to be very reliable, Infact that Consumer Report list BMW as the only non Japanese entry in top 5/10 reliability. No Korean in that! Most of the horror stories heard about BMW is because of two major things, 1. Cheap Tuning, modding and non pro racing, 2. Lack of regular maintenance. Yes servicing is expensive but that’s something known when you buy. But most people treat it like a lawn mover and then cry foul when things go bad.

Hi David, No doubt in my mind the genesis GV 80… like I have said before many many times, German cars are not reliable and dependable in my opinion… The GV is much more capable as a better fit and finish on the inside and outside and has an overall better ride… In my opinion❤

I have a BMW X5 and I love it. I do like the look of the GV80 but worry about losing my sporty aggressive characteristics of the Bimmer. Plus, I’ve been in BMW and Mercedes products so long, is a Hyundai right for me? IDK? More for my money, but I’m hearing bad things. Decisions decisions…

@andik2329 2 ай бұрын

As a German I always thought that the German cars are over engineered but they have a much better ride quality than any Japanese car. However the Asian cars have a higher quality in terms of longevity. As an example. The 3.0 l 6 cylinder in the Audi Q7 has 3 turbochargers. 2 normal and 1 electric, which uses 48 volts and can spin from 0 to 170000 rpm in 0.2 sec. They get a 3 mpg better gas milage than Toyota. Guess what brakes first. Toyota puts in a 4.0 l six or eight cylinder that is normally aspirated and uses regular gasoline. It has less horsepower and the gas mileage is worse but the engine lasts forever.

Hyundai corp is horrible in committing to their stated warranties! It a effin sham! Btw my 2022 X5 PHEV is best among so many luxury SUVs owned. In fact, I wanted to go with a GV80, but the atrocious behavior and experience at a Hyundai dealership made me run. Never again a shitty Korean experience. I take care of my cars well and everything has lasted 100K miles, but never had longer than that as I like change my rides. Plus I get 46 mpg in the X5 which is over 22K miles now. Can’t imagine getting 16 mpg city and 21 mpg freeway on the Genesis at current premium fuel prices.

I could not get past the ugly and staid sterling wheel on the GV 80 - it’s awful- so I went with the X5 40i which delivered in December. Genesis finally fixed that on the 2025. Both good looking inside and out, I just slightly preferred the BMW, which also has the better engine. Also, Genesis and its dealers are not proven as a luxury brand, so I’d expect to see some sort of financial break from buying one, but there isn’t one. This is such a competitive segment with a lot of great choices. Love the X5 so far.

Drove them both. BMW is the king of this market. You can measure all you want, but it outruns, out handles, and outclasses everything else in this class, esp a freaking Hyundai which only puts lipstick on a pig. The B58 engine is a legend. BMW is, and always has been, built for drivers. Genesis is built for riders.
