sounds more like you got a bad dealer and he's ripping you off...
if they just serviced the cv boots and that same drive shaft popped out, they are liable for the damages. same with your broken wishbone (if they damaged it)

Sorry to hear about your problems, but if the dealer was the last one to work on your CV boots and the same driveshaft is what broke, then there is something amiss there. Agree with Hayaku to take it back to the same dealer and explain the situation.
By the way, all E53 X5 have their power window switches on the driver side door, not the center console--however, it could be something simple as a fuse or the actual window switch panel not being connected properly.

your drive shaft broke or your c/v joint? the drive shaft flex disc can fail with violent results and that will have nothing to do with your c/v's. There are also defective parts in the world, and they will unfortunatly cause damage, bring it back and see what they say.

yes thanks the window switches are on the door they want 800 to fix, just got one on ebay new for 30 dollars... but the power lock in the center console is out the hazards don't work unless u mash the button. i check the fuses and thats not it... do u know if the intrument cluster for the driver side is a plug and play??
i just got off the phone with my buddys garage they say call bmw the axles put in might have affected the tranny and the pan is a tran pan so i'm hurtin, its leakin tranny fluid everywhere. but thanks for such fast replys u guys rock too bad we are burrdend with such expensive cars to fix. soon to be broke.... ZD
