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.

You're definitely missing the point here: no, you're not lucky...most of us have no issues with our X5, which is precisely why Deutsch decided to dump his 35d due to the unfortunate circumstance of having to deal with an electronic issue, however minor or major it's perceived.
The GL550 imo has a much better presence than an X5, I know because I drooled over one in the showroom b/4 picking up a CLS 550 a couple years ago.
Better luck in the GL, Deutsch, and enjoy the new ride
