Nice -

OK my turn....Just got a call from stealer....I had a battery drain that turned out to be a bad rheostat/fan behind the glove box....which drained the battery completely to zilch causing my key to be decoded.Oh and by the way I needed my drive belts changed and a front brake job. P.s. My Beemer was serviced 2 months ago with no mention of the issues mentioned above. end result....$2080.00 not bad for a car that only has 32,000 miles. I still love the car though...Just thought I'd whine a little....OK I'm better now.....good luck.

This site is probably the wrong site to say that, because the other 21,285, oops, 21,284 people logged on this site most likely like BMWS. You should make a BMWsucks.com for this type of thread.
( just like toshibasucks.org)

Since you paid for everything out of pocket, why the deductible??

Mercedes! Yeah, that is where you should be looking for a reliable vehicle with low repair costs these days.

They are worse than BMW and will cost you as much or more to repair. Step over to Lexus if you view your car as an automotive appliances and want reliability with no emotion.

The X5 is a LUXURY car. When things break it is not going to be cheap to repair. That is the case with pretty much any expensive car. Is this repair the worst that has happened to you in your ownership? What else have you addressed?

Well when I purchased the car I knew it would be expensive to repair....ps the rheostat total was 400 bucks the rest was general maintainence belt brakes etc...I pull a bass boat all over the state so it's not a big deal...maintainence is maintainence.
