Also, it happens a little bit here, but more so at other forums, but people are saying "What's wrong with the X5? All these issues! I'm not buying one now!" you have no basis on this. I've recently talked to three people at different dealers, and they are saying they rarely see new X5's in for unscheduled service. Just becuase one person here reports on an unfortunate comfort access issue, it does not mean it is on all X5's!!!! Same with transmission issues, I Drive issues!!! A lot of people join becuase they are one of the few that are having problems, creating an enviroment that is full of titles like "E70 4.8i Problems" Sure, it is something that you should look out for, but it is definately not a reason for not purchasing a vehicle.
