Hi everyone,
finally joined the site after being an avid reader for some time. I have a Toyota 4runner right now that I absolutely love, but its lack of amenities is slowly driving me nuts! I'm thinking about purchasing an X5, but I wanted to get your input first. I'm looking at a used 2005 4.4i with 53,000 miles. However, I'm concerned about the infamous electrical problems I've read so much about. So my question to you is this: After owning your X5, would you recommend it as a reliable vehicle? or should I expect to become good friends with my mechanic?

Thanks for your input! If I do end up biting the bullet, you'll definitely see me around here in the future!
