I absolutely LOVED my X5! The M sport package was souped up, that thing could move. But I drive a lot of miles and wanted to sell it (had about 117,000 miles) before it started giving me trouble. About 5,000 miles before I sold it, it started burning oil, and I could see the writing on the wall...
I sold my X5 M sport last year. I wanted to get something more reliable and hoped the new GX would be it. It was a refundable $500 deposit, so the risk was low. I think Lexus knocked out of the park with the GX 550, can’t wait to get my hands on one! Better get in line somewhere buddy!
