I have almost 150K miles on mine and I have spent ~$10K in repairs over the past year with over half of that being a new tranny and new cats. Seems like every month it is something different. As much as I love driving mine, it is really starting to be a burden on me.

No matter what you drive it will have a few problems when it gets older... wear happens across the board. I see numerous high mileage X5's daily. Some in near perfect condition, some in need of help. It all comes down to taking care of your vehicle and fixing problems as they arise.

95K and after warranty I changed the control arms and 4 c/v boots so far. I give that a solid 9 out of 10 on reliability and cost of ownership.

No vehicle is perfect. Example, I have a 2001 330i with 35k miles. The alternator went out this past June at 33.5k miles. Whether new or old, low or high miles, no vehicle is perfect.
At least these BMW's are easy to work on. Daniel

buying vehicles early in their model years always has risks....

 Just use this electronic indy called X5world and tell the wrench turners what to change... apparently their weak point is diagnosis. (as is the case with most indy shops when it comes to BMW's)
