I got my X5 on Dec.18th and it is also trouble free sof ar (thank GOD) so I am confuse why other people are having so much problem. I went to Circle BMW (Eatontown NJ) over the weekend for a break-in oil flush and I specifically told my Service Advisor not to do any recall or any Service Updates. I just do not want the updates to introduce "bugs" in my X5 right now.
