This is the same crap us 4.4 owners had to listen to when the MB guys get on this board. So you chose something else. Big deal. This is the X-5 board, not the "why I didn't buy an X-5" board. We discuss issues about the X-5, not why don't we all follow some non-X-5 owner's reasoning and get rid of our X-5s. Good luck and go to the Acura MDX board if you can find one.
