Every car maker has issues, the more regulations the government puts on them, the heavier and more advanced the car needs to become. This makes them force stuff to production. If the government would just let the manufacturers duke it out, we would have better more reliable cars due to competition not regulation.

I totally agree. Once we got our X5, it just wasn't the same when I was driving other cars.

I am right on the same page as him!

i have to agree with the positive replies,ive had my 2006 4.4 for 1 year.i live in northern alberta,and it was -50 this winter for 2 weeks and the x ran flawless.no frozen door locks,no blown valve cover gaskets,nothing.like any other brand some guys happen to get the one built on friday before a long weekend.there are thousands of x5 out there that run great,but remember this a forum that will make you think they all have big problems,thats what its for.
