my first x5 had the rear door latch problem, and 3 rear rims/wheels and 1 front wheel/rim. also the door handle paint failure.

that was it... pretty good when my x5 was built 08/0000 and was a first year/month production 4.4.....

This is my 2nd X5 as well. My first was an '01 which had its share of problems but that didn't deter me from getting another one. I guess everything is relative. A small problem to me and you could be a huge one for another. Oh well.

I am also on my 2nd X5. I had a 2001 X5 4.4 and had no major problems with it either. Sorry to hear that you are going the lexus way.

I wish you all the best, and good luck with whatever you decide. Either way, don't be a stranger. Be sure to pop in every now and then and say hi

Hey Rob,

that really sucks to hear about your problems and I know how you feel. I can't say I've had *that* many problems but the ones I have had are extremely frustrating. For instance, I'll be taking the X in tomorrow for the thrid time to try and resolve a noisy auxilliary water pump noise which has previously been *solved* but never seems to go away. I hope you end up buying a CPO'd 04/05 and hang in there, but if not, keep hanging around and you can rib us about our continuing problems as you drive your Lex around

i don't think you'll be happy with the way it handles.

good luck either way!

The GX is to square and the other one is under powered. What the F!!! ...On to the MDX and Escalade.

I just bought my wife a 2005 MDX Touring with Navi about a month ago. It's a great vehicle for her, but it's no X5

They wont do you much good like that...look mint too. Freaking Caddy guy had the balls to offer me $21500 for it on an 05 loaded Escalade...I had to laugh...he priced it like it was a 3.0....took the keys and walked out.

"things i'd never buy....extasy, scalper tickets, lexus, infiniti...[/QUOTE]"

I drove a 98 LS400 for 4 years before the X5...here is how many times it broke during the course of 85K......1 time.........an oil leak...the guy said it was actually a freak thing...they never leak where the oil was coming from....I drove it 115miles a day for my commute and it never ever let me down not once. I even drove home in blizzard, white out conditions having to use the white reflectors on the side of road because I could not see...it is freaking rear wheel drive! Not a scratch....I once spun out on black ice heading head long into a bridge abutment at 50 miles an hour at 6am trying to catch a flight to DC to go to a meeting the traction control came on with feet to spare as I turned intinctively away from the spin...the car was straight as an arrow in seconds.... and of course my Dad who purchased it from me tells me everyday what a great car....blah blah blah...

So after the insult I recieved at the Caddy dealer, I drove home with radio down and just my thoughts...and there it was ....."c'mon...it was only a few bucks...I will be good...I promise...it was just a momentary lapse of reason"

Nothing cuises at 80 mph like and X5....

Just for the record I did go by the BMW stealer...only one CPO...a blk/blk non sport 03....Boring! I did say...call if he got any 4.6 03 CPO....
