This isn't meant as a "kick you while you're down" statement so please don't interpret it that way...
Going into an X5 expecting Toyota/Honda/Volvo or some other standard in reliability is mistake many who come and go around here make. They simply didn't do their homework before diving in. An X5 is not a vehicle you buy and expect NOT to have to either work on it, or get it worked on (for the non-diy'ers) --- They are maintenance intensive vehicles, and definitely full of expensive quirks/mistakes right from the factory. ALL of those silly design flaws and common problems are by now extremely well documented on this site as well as a few others.
