I think your statement is an exaggeration but I will say that any automobile will have problems, some more than others, some will run perfectly for hundreds of thousands of miles, some will be lemons. I can say that your statement is an exaggeration because of my observations and interactions with X5 owners since 2002 have not borne out your conclusion. Some on this and other X5 forums have had little issues and some have had lots. That's how it goes with machines. Plus, the nature of Internet forums is to voice complaints. More people have problems and post about them in search of solutions than come here to blow sunshine about not having problems.

Again, if you would list your issues it would be far more helpful than just crapping on X5s as junk. I'm not challenging you but if you want to help the guy avoid a collosal mistake, as you see it, shine some light on why you hated your X5 so much.
