As I mentioned, 1 year and 20,000 miles later cannot be happier with my X5. Thanks you for the good luck wishes

Love to, wanna buy it? I'll make you a real good deal considering it currently has a cracked valve cover, one busted CV boot, a broken window actuator, some pixels missing from the radio and runs like crap with multiple misfire codes. But hey, it looks good and just think of all the oohs and aahs you'll get from the mechanics at the repair shop.

Matyoka, check your y-pipe and your outer passenger side cv boot . . . they're both cracked.

Repoman im sorry your seven year old bmw is not giving you the gas and go experience you were looking for. I guess that is the price you pay for getting such a good deal from a private sale. If reliability is what you are looking for an 03 BMW is not the right choice I agree. Coming on this site and bashing the truck we all own is not a good idea, sorry you are not getting the support you were hoping for BUDDY. Maybe someone else can give you that hug you need.lol

My X5 has been the biggest POS as well. Out of the many cars I have owned it is the least reliable. While it was in warranty period I did not care, but as I remember it had its share of problems even in the first 50K miles.

Once the warranty ran out, the car started to break down as if BMW planned it to be that way.

Manny issues, and expensive to fix.

Not in a million years I will recommend an X5 to anybody. Heck I currently do not even recommend BMW to anybody.

Fanboyism is a disease.
And imo, BMW has the biggest fanboyism going on around there.

Thank you for the hug zumbalak that I so desperately needed. Fanboyism, I had to look that one up . . . an obsession typified by absolute loyalty to a single fannish object. Blindness to competing or dissenting opinion is often a symptom.

Yea, I'd say that pretty much it in a nutshell. I've gone through life making rational decisions based on my own experiences . . . never been one to jump on the band wagon. I can see how fanboyism could keep one from the rational side.

It's sad that my 7 year old BMW is not giving me the "gas and go" I am looking for. It's a good thing my 10 year old Lexus is, I drive it to go get parts for the X.

Repoman got his hug

Anyway to get back to the point of this thread there are better deals out there than the one mentioned good luck finding the right x5 for you. Make your own educated decision on your purchase and beware of getting the best deal out of all of us on this site.
