No damn car is perfect today and there are also minuses by BMW that can make me give up from that car. And if i find faults by the car, i'll tell it for sure, regardless of it being BMW. I'm going to spend almost 100k on the car and i don't want to expirience such things like these people from CanDriver, but if i find 'em, wait to see me bitchin about it! That's why i've told you don't try.
Yeah sure, I bet any amount of money you'll fall for the X5 even more so after this exchange!

Seems to me that it's you who tries to label me here... And you know how...
Didn't label you at all, just called it like I saw it. Review wasn't good = pathetic to you.

I don't give a damn if they love it or not, the only thing i'm saying (and i think there are many here that will agree) that i'm not buying reviews from this person:



That may sound lame, low or whatever to you, but that's my opinion.
Yeah she is awfully homely, run over looking, but what does that have with her ability as a automotive writer? Yeah I do think that is lame and rather absurd. I couldn't care less what the writers looked like and in most cases how old they are because like I said before most magazines have editors that are seasoned and to be seasoned you have to have been around for a while. Most of these magazines are filled with 20-40 year olds doing most of the writing. If I cared about what the writers looked like I'd never get past the front page!

What really makes all of this a hoot is that this particular group of writers usually likes BMWs, homely editor woman included.
