It interesting how the M3 engine works. It has limited rev until the engine heats up, maybe people are ignoring this

Clutches are very easy to break. Especially by BMW owners. The brand attracts young people who like to show off with burnouts and all. Fuck 'em, they deserve to have their clutches broken. I hate showoffs. If you drive you car in a sensible way it will last a long time.
After all, the m3 is tested over and over again by professional racing drivers. If BMW is confident enough about the quality after all this testing to put the car into production, and yet mfs succeed in ripping their cars up, then that tells you more about the driving skills of these idiots than about M quality.

The x5 has many different suspension setups and we've had one for a fair while now. We have Air suspension in the rear (bmw factory option) and when we were doin some work to the car up...not driving for more than six months...the car's wheels were in the arches, it looked pretty sweeeeet. But when we started her up it just lifted up no problems. So im suspecting with that case was a isolated incodent and can vouch for its reliability. im sure that info u got only happened to that car? not a on going problem. and the x5 has been out for more than 3years and a update was in the works anyway.
