She even asked me to find a plan, that was like the BMW one, for the Q5s. We couldn't, and although her grading had the Q5s at about a 10% favorite we went BMW. I'm pro BMW, but this was THE deciding factor.
This is the same rational that has been applied for her last 3 vehicles. That is $150k in the last 5 years that would have been Audi instead of BMW. If the BMW marketing people that watch this site doubt me, they can feel free to contact me for proof. This rumored maintenance change is a bad idea for them.

This is exactly why my drives a 535I instead of an e class. She actually liked the e class a little more.
