First off, wow… I should have done more research on the X5 before making my purchase…
Being a former BMW (‘91 525i) owner I know the BMW product is a quality product, well I thought so. Seeing that I put over 120,000 miles on the 525 for the 5 years I had it (was given the car as a gift, 10 years old with 60k at the time) only problems being water pump and thermostat having to be replaced around 100k and that car was driven hard to say the least.
So, I purchased a 2004 X5 with 59k and thought I was getting a deal. But after reading some of the posts it makes me scared and appears I need to run out and purchase an extended warranty like yesterday.
I really hope the problems people have on here aren’t as widespread as it seems. With all that being said… here is the 5. (the dealer pics)
