Is there a car less reliable then the X5?

I'm shocked over the horrible reliability of this car. I know BMW's are known for their poor reliability but this is ridiculous. Never have we owned a car so unreliable and horribly put together (and we've own a couple BMW's). I don't mind paying for repairs and/or performing the work myself, but when a new issue comes up a day after fixing an existing issue, it really starts wearing me (and my wallet) down.

I bought this car back in July and have had the car towed three times and have spent $1500 in parts and countless hours of my time fixing these issues. Below are the issues with the car in order. Mind you this within less then a year of ownership.

Driver's side door LED burnt out
2 month old Battery died (confirmed with BMWNA that battery was replaced at time of purchase)
Voltage Regulator died
Coolant expansion tank cracked
Throttle body spring broken
Throttle body Harness fried
Accelerator pedal stuck to the floor
Radiator cracked
Rear air springs blew out
AC stopped blowing cold air
