To the OP: Thank you for joining our forums (A place for fellow owners to HELP eachother) just to tell how much you hate your X5. We are now all aware of your displeasure with the product. As previously suggested, sell it and move on. Maybe purchase a nice Lexus SUV? Good luck with the sale! Ohh, just be sure to tell the prospective buyer what a horrible vehicle that your selling! Good luck.


P.S. The passionate owners who know there vehicle for the beautiful, quirky machine that it is are what make this forums great. Also, the DIY'ers here who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty to save a few bucks and get to know they're vehicle are people I fully relate to and respect. Wouldn't it be great if we could ALL share these sentiments?! (A man can dream can't he?) *Stepping off soapbox*
