:xoutpost: and Good luck with your problems!!! I've owned my X for about 8 months now and really haven't had any noises, although I'm curious to know as to how much wind noise is too much, or how quiet the ride should be??? I guess I won't know unless I get a chance to be in another X5!!! I wish you get your problems resolved soon, so that you can get to enjoying the wonders of driving what I believe to be the car I should have been driving years ago,that's how pleasant and joyful this SAV really is!!!!
