I hear ya. I love driving the X5 but I sure don't love owning it. It's reputation and gas mileage worked well for us though as we bought it as a 3yo CPO for roughly half what someone paid for it new. It's never actually broken down on us but I have had to replace the coolant pipe, valley pan gasket, upper timing cover gasket, water pump and expansion tank. That's a bit for 4 year's and 35k of ownership but thankfully I can do all my own repairs so the cost hasn't been that bad.
