X's...Never again!!!!!!

I'll try to keep it short.....

Both my X's are giving me a hard time. I won't go into ALL thats been done on them in the last year but I will only go back a few weeks ago.

One morning on the E70, cold morning , no start. Missed one day of work and changed the battery.
Three days later on the E53 , cold morning, no start. This time managed to boost it and went to work with it. I went out and bought a new battery with my working vehicle and changed the battery in the warehouse where I work. Came out of the warehouse and noticed a huge oil spill. That was December 20th and had a towing bring it to dealer. Got it today ...1100$
This morning , wife rides with the E70 to go to work and calls me at 8am to let me know she pulled over because of a loud noise and while she inspected the exterior , noticed all the coolant spill....so, I leave work (missed another day) called the towing and took it to dealer.
I had to take it to the dealer this time also cause my E53 was there and ready and was left with no car so I picked it up at the same time I brought the E70....You think the guys at the dealer laughed ??? Imagine this , I have my E53 ready to pick up and I'm coming over with my E70 on a flatbed to make the switch.....it's pathetic!!!

Even better , on Jan 3 , it got cold that night and with a brand spanking new battery on the E70 , it wouldn't start in the morning....my dad started his old 2001 ford escape to come and boost me. At the same time , my friend with his 2010 3 serie called me to ask for help cause his wouldn't start either.....WTF!!!!!

I take so good care of both X's maintenance wise and this is what I get.
I'm sad to say but I've had it with my X's and probably with BMW all together.
