2004 X5 problems anyone have the same issues with theirs

I am new to this board so forgive me if my problems are common. But I need help. My dealer will do nothing about them. I will list them in order because there are many. Also it is a 4.4 sport with 5k miles

1. My stereo reception sucks and I do not have tinted windows.

2. sometimes my X5 idles fine and sometimes it idles really rough almost enough to staul out. also it has long starts sometimes.

3. There is a loud clunking noise coming from the front of the X5 when backing up and turning wheel to lock. Then recently I started hearing the clunking when driving aggressiviley in a corner.

4. My transmissions shifts very rough sometimes. Either when downshifting or when steping on the accelerator it gets confused and does shift right away then it violently downshifts into a lower gear.

5. over 100mph I get a loud whistling noise coming from the front end sounds like wind noise.

6. I have adjustable ride hight and it seems very low in the front and high in the back. In the lowest position the front fender is almost on the tire and the back is about 3 inches from fender. It does not look right.

7. When unlocking the doors using the button on the key my alarm goes off.

I know it is a lot of problems. But I am wondering if anyone elso out there has had similar problems and what they di to correct them. I just spent 65K on my X5 and think it is bullcrap that I am having these problems. and the fact that My dealer says it is all normal makes it worse. I have always owned M3s M5s and M6s and feel that there were built better. Maybe because the X5 was built in the USA. I love my X5 but if they cant correct these problems i will not be getting another one.
Thanks for any help in advance.
