Two weeks ago it, it didnt move for a week and a half other than cranking it 4 times to move a total of 30 feet in and out of the garage to detail. Never had an issue. Maybe I'm lucky but still......
I agree with the rattles though. My rear seat goes through random spurts where it will rattle like crazy and then it magically goes away for a while.
To each their own, but to me it sounds like you need to justify the expense of dumping a new car because you're bored.

Bored?? I love the performance, looks, handling and features of the X5, especially the 35d. There was nothing to be bored with, but exhausted with the rattles/squeaks and recent battery/electrical issue.
Do I think the X5 looks better than my GL? YES!! The GL does drive really well, and it feels like an S-Class inside. 7000lbs of steel, leather and wood. You could hear a pin drop inside. Also for hot weather, the UV glass is amazing, and I love the cooled seats and rear DVDs for my son.
