A Couple of Things...

[jbviper4]

Hello all!

I am approaching 60K on my 03 X5 and I am noticing a couple of troubling things...

1. The other day in a parking garage (nose down on an incline) - I needed to back up and when I put it in reverse, I had a significant slide forward (at least 2 feet) before it caught and backed me up. Should I be concerned?

2. Sometimes the drivers door won't open when I use the remote to open it, but always when I put the key in...and sometime the back door won't close smoothly - takes a little extra to close it snugly.

3. Losing some of its acceleration (I think) - it just used to feel more powerful - It seems to be sticking in the low gears longer...

I've noticed a trend on this forum that 60K seems to be sort of a "magic number" for taking care of water pumps, trannys etc... I have been religious about regular service (between interval oil changes, taking it in every time the idiot light tells me to) so I'm just trying to get a feel for what I might face when I bring her in next week...

Thanks in advance!
