Point of these forums are to get feedback from other owners. Find if problems are
great in number. Will aid in the decision process whether want to go with the brand
again.

The transmission is acting up, 10K miles. Just going to drive till locks up,
BMW can just tow. If makes it to trade time next owner can
deal with the problem.

I got all my BMWs after the warranty period and I will do it again. The reported problems here is just a small percentage of the total cars made, and the owners with healthy X5s does not report or even post and update the forum. I don’t but I can take this opportunity now to say that my tranny and engine are all original and never acted up.

I think the pattern here is that the ones complaining are the ones:

1. Who can’t afford to keep up their BMWs
2. Doesn’t do regular maintenance so eventually components goes south.
3. Doesn’t do DIY
4. Like what was discussed, putting 87octane gas
5. Rough driving habits
6. Owners going to indy shops expecting that maintenance are done, but in reality, some were not even performed like the incident below:

This happened to me personally which made do DIY for nearly 20 years now. My 2001, 2004, 2006 and 2007 BMWs were all spoiled maintenance wise but of course, small issues are there but never had major issues at all.
