The second one 2017 35i, I looked for a specific one with no sport package (hate staggered wheels with that monster 315rears), no air suspension, and not too many optional gizmos and it's been rock solid reliable with just basic maintenance and great mpg. Maybe next year with the new klasse X5 coming out they worked out all the kinks.

I honestly have no idea. It's not like the US were really gungho about lock downs or anything either, I would say it's just the US manufacturing just isn't as good. If you've seen Chattanooga VWs you'd think they were made in a fourth world country with rocks as tools.
The early 50e had software issues which would brick the car but those have been solved it seems. I'm not a fan of the staggered setup, but it seems more than half of them are staggered. Air is surprisingly affordable and replacement struts are the same price as regular stuff.
