but, since these cars sometimes are tempting to be driven hard, some parts are not holding up - before going for a repair to a shop or something, log in to this site and see if someone already repaired it - like the window regulators... there is a $2 plastic part that breaks over time, but if you keep rolling it up and down in hopes that it will start working, then you need to replace the whole regulator... more money... lol...

Yeah I don't think I will ever buy another vehicle new. My wife tried to get me to buy a new one this time instead of this one but I told her I had to have the X5. I haven't had it but like 80 but it is still a lot of fun to drive. I kinda scared myself a little bit when I first laid into the first time. It will definitely surprise you. I already had to replace the drivers door carrier system cause it broke and the radiator reservoir. Both of which I bought from the dealership and then found them online afterwards for about half price. I was so pissed. Thats actually how I found this website though.
