The only time that car saw a dealer was for oil service and brakes! My son drives it now, it looks and runs like brand new!
This X5 on the other hand, has been to the dealer more times in the first 6 months than the 528 has ever been in 8 years!

DMO Didn't you go to trade it for a Lexus? What happened? I've decided to buy another BMW because my former 2004 325i never had any issues for 4 and half years. My X5 is 4 months old now and it is free of issues and actually feels more solid than the 325i. Each car is different and like RH71 said the first year of production is certainly the one with the largest amount of issues. If I were you, I would bring it back to the dealer and demand them to fix it. If they do not fix it, call BMW and/or hire a lawyer. Good luck.
