I know this is a BMW forum, but was hoping for someone who might have went though the same. All opinions are welcome. My problem is that I kind off lost faith in this car. Thank you!
PS Things I’ve done with X5 very recently:
-all new injectors
-new original valve cover
-new water pump
-new thermostat
-new belts
-new dampener pulley
-all new vacuum lines
-new glow plug unit
-new original starter
-new control arms
-new stabilizer bars
-new crank shaft sensor
-new camshaft sensor
-new rear main seal
-new transmission valvebody seals
-new teansmission cooler thermostat
-a lot of other new seals and gaskets
-transmission filter and fluid
-new engine mounts
-new transmission mount
-new original injector harness

If you buy a used X5 or range rover, even if it's just a few years old, prepare to go through hell. If you want paradise, buy brand new and keep just 2 years.
It's pointless to get a used vehicle, fix it like you have done, sell it probably at a loss, then get another used vehicle to repeat exactly the same thing.
