5 Things I Hate About BMW

BMW's are among some of the most popular cars for people with the money to buy one. We love BMW's but no car is perfect. This is no exception so with that said, here are 5 things that we hate about BMW.

1. The Reliability

BMW's are not known for being reliable. They love to start having issues after the warranty ends. All types if things could go wrong. The headlights going out are just the first sign of a line of problems. Then, the window switches break or water pump busts. There are a million things that can go wrong with this car, especially since the parts are complicated.

2. The Boring Interior

The BMW interior you see in most of its new cars are identical to each other.  Even on most of its new cars such as the X4, it is still identical to most of the other BMWs. IN fact, it would be hard to tell the difference of a sixty grand X5 interior and a forty grand 228i.

3.Overpriced

Some BMW's start at a cheap price for BMW. Keyword is start. Back up camera isn't standard. Navigation isn't standard. If you want the big screen in BMW photos, you also have to pay for that. Power seats are optional. Lumbar support is optional. Aluminum trim in the lower models is optional. Sunroof is optional. Leather is optional. What is not optional? It is ridiculous.

4. Depreciation

BMW's don't last long, like many other German cars. If you buy a new BMW 7 series, then after five years, your car would be worth thirty nine percent of the value you bought it at new. That is astonishing. Of coarse, most BMW's are higher than that. Most of the SUV's are able to stay above fifty percent, while most of the cars are slightly lower than fifty percent.

5.  The SUV Coupes

BMW sparked a bad fire. They made the X6 which lead to the Mercedes GLE coupe, the disgusting and failed Acura ZDX, and the future Audi Q8. Sure, an SUV coupe sounds like a great idea, but just like socialism, it failed. However, it is sill popular. There are some key things that they missed. First of all, they aren't as practical as a normal SUV. The sloping roof cuts into head room and cargo space. The second mark is that they're too low to do any real off roading. The third problem is that they are to tall and bulky to look any good.

BMW's are great cars. However, there are things that stink about the brand.
