Well I purchased my first BMW back in Feb and it is an 06 4.8is Lemans Blue. The vehicle had 38k on odo and was a former lease from CA. It is absolutely mint and looks brand new. The car fax and maintence history was clean also. It went out of factory warranty in May and now I am begining to have problems. The first problem occured about a month ago, the ride height on the right side was about 1" lower than the left side. I took the X5 to an independent BMW shop and the tech tried to reset the computer and the module crapped out and I had to pay $1200 for a new module. Now the right front shock loses air after sitiing a couple of days. When I unlock the vehicle I can hear the compressor come on and the right front shock levels back to normal. I was told by the tech that I need a new right front air shock, that will cost $1198. I am having that replaced on 12/7. Yesterday I notice fluid leaking from the front of the vehicle onto my driveway. After investigation I found that it is windshield washer fluid, it is coming from the bottom of the resesvoir. I can't believe all the problems that I am begining to have. I love the performance of the vehicle but don't know if it's worth the high maintence. I am thinking about trading the vehicle. What are your thoughts?
