Never had this on my X5. Had it on my 318i back in '94. I also had it on a 245 Volvo wagon in the late '80s. Both vehicles were used for lots of short trips. The problem is the short trips, not the X5 design. BMW's failing was in not making the CCV a regular maintenance item. Cleaning it out (and BMW do sell a diaphram kit for it) every Inspection I would eliminate many of the problems owners have.
