I am now at 23k miles on my 2010 X5 M, with the reduced power issue appearing occasionally for the past several thousand miles. The vehicle has been in three times to be looked at... and it seems though the issue has finally been resolved. No recurrence over the past 2000 miles. The final fix for me was the replacement of a "slow solenoid". It hasn't been too bad, I had the use of a 7 series from BMW of Dallas for the few days they had it, so no complaints on my part.

My rear camera has stopped working for the second time though. Still waiting on parts from Germany. It stopped last Summer too.... Heat related, I think. The last time it happened the final fix was a new wiring harness.

I love my X5, but, a 7 Series or an X5M? Hmmmm. Think I'd take the 7 (Creme del Creme of the BMW lineup). :-)
