i own a 2005 x5 4.4. bought it cpo in august 2008 with 14k miles, it now has 27k..i have had some problems...fuel pump replaced, water pump replaced, tranny reflashed twice. tranny still not fixed getting the famous bucking sensation from 2nd to 1st..bad pano roof rattle...all was fixed under cpo but these required several dealer visits...i dont care what they say but a car that costs as much as our x's whether new or used and all the engineering that goes into them thay should not have all these issues..imo it is poor parts procurement and design issues...and the argument that they require more maintainance because thye are performance vehicles does not sit well with me. that would be a point if it were a ferrari or lambo but not a sport activity vehicle which is supposed to have been designed to handle a littlle more wear and tear than a regular car...sorry for the rant but when i hear well its a bmw yada yada yada it drives me insane...thanks rob
