I've decided to stop leasing and perhaps go the CPO route. How has the reliability been? Any major issues or rattles?

I had an an 08 4.8i M-Sport, nice car, just about every parking sensor had to be changed, it had an annoying steering squeak which was only cured after a complete rack change. Being an M-Sport it sufferred chronic stone chipping around the rear quarter, all had to be repainted then covered with protective film.
I then bought an X5 M, it is now 5 weeks old, I had use of it for 2 weeks before it went down with an engine fault, for 3 weeks now I have been in the dealers 3.0D X6 loaner.
That is my X5 experience, summarised in one word, shit.
