2006 X5 A Lemon?

[CANTWAIT]

I am also having problems with my 06 4.4, but different problems. I got it in July and it has about 4,700 miles on it at the moment.

I have posted a thread on it, because I am having problems with it when in idle. The car vibrates when my foot is on the break so bad that my water bottles will rattle, so I won't get into particulars. The nav screen sometimes looks faded and has a slow response, but when restarted it will be fine. A couple of times it had a terrible rattle and squeeking sound coming from the engine, but that only occured a handful of times. Once I started it recently and a huge poof of white smoke came out of too! I so love the fact that I spent $60,000 on a car that drives like this!

I have my third scheduled appointment for the 26th because I can NOT leave work early again over this car. I am almost hoping that it will break down and I will have the press the SOS button so that they will do something about this! At this point I am also very annoyed because I have been told that I am now imagining this problem, or that the 4.4 is a large engine and it is normal (why didn't this occur for the 3 months when I first got it then?) More about this in the thread I started (I will bump it for you).

At lease you are getting a mini cooper. Better than the Hundai Sonata that I have been so lucky to drive around in!

I am sorry I can not help, but do share in your frustrations!
