Later that day my blinkers kept flashing and wouldnt turn off. They would turn off for a bit and then come back on. I tried starting the vehicle and it was dead. I jumped it and drove it down to shucks to test the battery, it read" System load check noise?" he had no idea what that really meant but said something is draining the battery. So 3 hours later my car still just sitting it started fine. 5 hours after that it started just fine again. I called the dealership and I can take it to a place called strictly bmw where i live for a diagnose, but this is not an appointment if I cant get in I have to decide by THIS friday 1/26/07 if im gonna keep it or give it back.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Is the dealership that you purchased the vehicle from a BMW dealership? If so, they should be able to fix it.

If it's not a BMW dealership, return it. Considering you have only one day to return the car, there may not be enough time to perform a full inspection on your X5. You're rolling the dice by not knowing what other issues could potentially exist.

2000 was the first year model and was beset with a myriad of electronic gremlins. Having problems with the car from day 1 is a sign to walk away and look for a later model with less known issues.
