Which BMW to ease back pain?
I have a bmw 4vseriesx drive gran coupe m sport I have hurt my back and this car is killing me. What would a 5vseries or x 3 be like What other alternatives
Our answer:
Hi Declan,
A 5 Series is still quite low, so I’m not sure that it would be of much help in back-pain terms. I think an X3 would be a better choice in that respect (the smaller X1 is also well worth a look), but, obviously, it’s more important to get some good medical attention for your back than to be worrying about cars.
