And I think the 35d is still an amazing SUV. The engine, brakes and transmission are excellent. HUD and i-Drive are awesome.

I just cannot deal with electrical issues, rattles, battery......

The GL will not be perfect, but the 4-5 people I know (2 are neighbors) who have one...love it. No problems at all, and no rattles or battery problems!!

I'm sure the next X5 (2013 model) will lure me back!!!!
