He said that he is glad he got the extended warranty but would never buy another. Another friend told be that when his got towed the driver said "I pick up these X5s constantly". I also got some 3rd party story of someone having to have all the chips re-flashed.. seems a little far fetched. On contrast two friends with 2003 and 2004 have had no problems. Have they got these problems nailed yet or is it still a problem?

Thanks

Seem like you would have heard about here if there was a serious problem. But having said that remember they are BMW's. A bit high strung.
