Thank you all for your imput. I picked up the car last week and went for a ride with the shop forman. he took me on the worst road that they had and we heard nothing. drove nack home 90 miles. they did fix the wind noise and ajusted the tailgate .but we still get a creaking nosie when we hit bumpy or uneven roads. the dealer told me that there is a break in period and the creaks should go away.... i will give it some time. the x5 is by far the best driving car i have ever driven. i love it and hope the creaks just go away....
