the only thing i ever knew that was bad on the X was the front control arms.... but i believe that BMW engineered a new control arm after a year or so. I don't remember exactly but there were a ton of X5's that came in for front control arms, most of them were being replaced before the cars' first oil change....

my post was to the original thread starter... but to answer your question, yes i'm very well aware of toyota/honda suspension and can certainly qualify my statements... my special interest is in suspension dynamics and making things go faster (to the point of taking them apart just to measure angles, dimensions, weight, deflection, etc)...

What he work on? Unimogs? My X5 rides like a dream, and we're talking a 5000lb vehicle. I can't remember any postings concerning the suspension in the last 2yrs. And this is the place you would hear it first.

Everytime i get my x5 serviced and checked the guy (servies all cars) always complements how much better the x5 is built compaired to the ML and the Lexus and most other 4wd's. He was also telling me that he makes repairs on around 3 ML's every day they may be softer but the build quality isnt good. The onlything i have ever had to do to my x5 since 2/10/2002 was get a new front axel because it was leaking oil or something like that.

My mechanic friend is very much aware that X5 is 5000 lb vehicle …. and that there are Honda and Toyota SUVs which have the similar weight! Have you qualify his statement?
