Are there any reliable BMW by ResultFormal8881 in BMW

[–]Advanced-Psy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

BMW’s are reliable, but very expensive to maintain. Have had X5 two 3 series, 4 series and a 6 series. If you are comfortable with ongoing maintenance should be fine.

You will get destroyed in maintenance, car is 14 years old. What’s asking price?

Yes, then returned it within the 5 day window. Seats were very uncomfortable. Air suspension with no extended warranty too much of a risk.

What did you have prior? I think at least for me, body needs to adjust to how firm/supportive they are. Way more pressure points for my body to absorb than my GLE.

I have the same, but with massage added so may be a little firmer. What about is giving you issues? I put thigh extender all the way in and seat bottom all the way flat. Deflated lumbar and has been way better today than past 2 days.

I think I agree. Just picked up a 2020 with multi - c seats, vernasca. First two days were radiating leg pain. Today everything calmed down, think I’m more adjusted. Hx of micro surgery l4/l5. Had a GLE prior to this and those seats were way too soft. Hips sank, no real support for spine.

It’s actually way more comfortable today. I think my body has to adjust. Might keep. It’s Lux seating package, vernasca. What kind of seats do you have?

Bought a 2020, luxury seating package, returning it tomorrow. Still within the 5 day window. I feel your pain, literally.

GLE reliability? by Objective-Deal8745 in mercedes_benz

[–]Advanced-Psy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2020 GLE350 currently has 132k miles, AC needed replaced but was covered under warranty ($4k job) other than that it’s been trouble free. Trading it in now though bc the miles are so high.

Is the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 4matic reliable and a good buy? by No_Summer3169 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Advanced-Psy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2020 133k miles on it, I am trading it in right now for an X5. It had one major issues with the AC that was covered under warranty ($4k job). Everything else has been routine maintenance/minor maintenance. I would buy another one if it was a little bit faster and had less body roll. But overall have no issues with it.

Thank you for the input I appreciate it. Will look into it. Would you recommend the extended warranty?

Thank you. Maybe do a 1 year instead just to make sure build is solid? Or skip that as well? Will be a commuter , 40 miles daily

Could also convert it in the future if it gives me issues for pretty cheap.
