I admit my X5 seems to have an electrical Gremlin that gets cranky now and then. He seems to get his fill after about 15 or 20 mins and then goes away though.

So far I have had these messages:
service soon
Reverse camera malfunction
Stability inoperative
now and then you lose the radio, nav, sattelite, etc. nothing works until the gremlins gets tired.

Mechanically, the inside rear tire treads are nearly finished. These are wearing VERY uneven.

Dealer says "bring it in when you have the issue because we can't find anything wrong" when it goes back to normal. Oh, and the dealer is 1 hr drive away and you need an appointment 2 weeks in advance.


Still, I have only 12,000 miles on this truck and I do like it a lot. But I'm not totally sold on becoming a repeat buyer.
