Mileage / Estimated Life Questions

[bd3500]

Hey Everyone,

Just bought an X5 last week, and am still loving it. I have been reading about the Automatic Transmission issues and had a couple questions about estimated life expectency of the X5. I have a 2002 X5 3.0 w/ automatic transmission.

Is the automatic transmission issue like almost certain, or does it only happen say to 10%, 25%, etc of people w/ an X5. It seems common, but for everyone who posts w/ the issues, its hard to tell how many people *don't* have the issue.

The X5 I bought has 60000 miles on it, I put 15k miles a year on, and am just curious what to expect over the life of the vehicle.

Thanks!
