BMW is known for producing high- performance luxury vehicles with cutting- edge technology and premium craftsmanship. However, not all BMW models have lived up to the brand' s reputation. Some were plagued with engineering flaws, poor reliability, and underwhelming performance, making them the worst cars ever made by BMW. Here are five of them.

The E65 7 Series introduced a radical design that many BMW enthusiasts disliked. Additionally, it came with the first- generation iDrive infotainment system, which was overly complicated and frustrating to use.

Major Issues:

Unreliable electronics caused frequent malfunctions

Expensive maintenance and repairs

Poor design reception– widely considered one of the ugliest BMWs ever made

The first- generation BMW X6 was an attempt to blend an SUV with a coupe, but it failed to excel at either. The bulky design made it less practical than an SUV, while its weight made it less sporty than a coupe.

Major Issues

Cramped rear seats and poor cargo space

Overly stiff suspension that reduced ride comfort

High maintenance costs and questionable reliability
