just picked up my new 2006 x5 4.4 with all the options.

sounds like you've got a lemon. Other then the tailgate creak on 04' X5 we havn't had any other creaks on either of ours.

doesn't sound like a typical X5. Hopefully the dealer will care for everything to your satisfaction.

Good luck, and welcome to the board.

UCrew is right. That is not typical. The X5 IS a high-quality car.

49K miles on my '03 3.0 X5 and no creaks or rattles.
Hopefully the dealer can fix everything.

I had a teribble whistling noise on my new 05 last august, was back at the dealer when it was just 3 days old, ended up having to have the window rubbers replaced and that solved the problem, since them drives like a dream .
Good luck, dont let this spoil the experience.

My '02 X5 is relatively rattlefree except for owner induced noises (too much junk in the trunk). New cars are usually prepped for sales by the cheap hired help. Ask them to tave the shop foreman drive the car and go through the entire prep checklist.

BMW has a reputation for making it right. Keep lots of notes and deal with the highest level of management you can. Make sure, if you have recurring issues, they don't print "functions as designed" on the service report. My 2004 4.4 has been pretty much flawless for almost 19K. They should get you fixed up...hang on, it will be a great car.

When I purchased my X back in 2000......it's a 2001........I also had a few issue the day after I brought her home. My dealer took very good care of me and figured everything out and now at 5 years and 4 months I couldn't imagine driving anything else. The X5 IS a great car and I encourage you to allow your dealer to work out the concerns you have and all will hopefully be well.

Happy at 85,000 miles!

Katt

Thank you all for your input hopfully every thing will be taken care of.
the dealer is telling us they fixed 2 of the 4 problems that we have and they say they can not hear any nosies. i think the roof is creaking when we hit bumpy roads. which we have plenty of them in northern new hampshire..
take care
