As stated on a comment on the first page of the thread - we all know which is more reliable of the two cars. On another note, if you've never personally owned a German car for an extended amount of time- why comment on how bad they are? It's like preaching to people about how reliable a car is...

Seeing as I took two years off of school to take care of my dad when he was sick with stage 4 cancer, and crushed his 23 individual medications two times a day for his feeding tube along with driving over 40k miles in 2009 for his doctors appointments.. Along many other things that I don't feel...

I'm sorry if it offended you that she had a beach car. It was a 1973 FJ40 that she bought for 5,000.00 to take my brother and I out to Big Sur and Santa Cruz. We later sold it for a 1975 "commander" RV- I'm going to say the the LC was much less scarier with her driving on highway 1 but as a...

Just wanted to wait to wait and make sure you weren't going to delete your comment before I responded to it like you did the last. The reason is stated in my original post.

Yes, I was actually going to look into the Limited if I did not find the right X5. My dog, Paws, probably would have wanted me to get the limited - he does not seem to happy about losing his cargo door window that goes down! I agree with you completely. I somewhat understand why people could...

The 4Runner was just a base model trail edition - so nothing special suspension/audio wise. Congrats on the limited! Thanks for the wishes. :sleepy: a little dramatic, bud.

Thank you! I am very entertained - typing a term paper all afternoon, t4r.org is eliminating the boredom. Thanks for the good luck- happy motoring :driving:

:wtf: In replying to a concern about reliability from a response to my original post? I was not ostentatiously listing cars off of my thumb that my family owns. This is a forum. A forum for car owners - who are most likely enthusiasts and can discuss information. I'm actually Sorry if you found...

Why not thoroughly read my review before you start claiming that I am bashing the car to 4R owners? I clearly stated many positives about the car; such as good gas mileage, seat comfort, residual value, highway comfort, and great performance on the beach. It is not my intent to bash what people...

I also understand it's opposite to the 4R, which I stated... "While they are completely different cars, I am glad that I got to experience the 4R." We all know which of the two cars are most likely to be most reliable, but I have fait in BMW products. Many of my friends, and some family...

A (pre-owned) BMW X5 4.8i It was a short but sweet experience owning the Toyota. I really loved it. On Cape Cod, the 4R employed awesome performance on the beach and an overall versatile aspect not found in a lot of SUV's offered today. Now that I am back at school, and find myself using...

I had the air at 15, and put it in sand mode- the truck did great! it felt like I was driving on a smooth road, no problems at all. How is Race Point? It must be beautiful up that way, I've heard a little but have never been.

I am 6'4" tall and love the driving position in the 4R. The 4th gen was awful! My friends whom had them did not mind too much, as they were mostly girls, but When i'd drive a 4th gen, it felt like I was sitting on the floor with the steering wheel in my lap. The one annoying thing about the...

I summer on Cape Cod. The BMW is photographed at the Outermost Harbor Marina, in Chatham, and the 4runner is photo'd on Chapin's Beach in East Dennis. I love driving my 4Runner, but if i'd have to chose it would definitely be the BMW. Besides the beautiful interior quality, and involving driving...

Moving out of Boston for the summer; Time for a Cape Cod Summer oh, and my 328 :)
