Do I have your attention? Good. I have owned over 10 BMW's and I have to say, my 2001 X5 is by FAR the worst car I've ever owned in my life (over 100 cars in 30 years).

Just hit 140K miles and every single part of the front and rear suspension has failed in the last month...okay, fine...wear and tear. The reason I am so pissed is because NO MECHANICS, not even the DEALER, can get the brake disks off, the ball joints out, the control arms off, etc.

I have broken a dozen "ball joint removal" tools working on this suspension, gone through dozens of propane torches, and destroyed several 4lb hammers trying to remove a front lower ball joint (the one in the really tall knuckle that no tool seems to fit).

Tried air chisel, air hammer, pickle fork, etc. So now I have this $10,000 hunk of metal sitting in my garage that I can't drive over 30 mph without the wheels literally shaking the steering wheel out of my hands.

Have also had to replace all four window regulators, ABS sensors, camshaft position sensors, and a dozen other sensors.

This morning, the SES light came on...but I haven't used my Peake scanner on it yet because I simply don't care any more. If anyone wants to see the soon-to-come video of me lighting this vehicle on fire in a vacant parking lot, shoot me an email at [email protected].
