i noticed that when i was at a team USA event.i think bmw is relying too much on computers now.its for that reason im not buying any of the new bmw moldels when the time comes.all the new acura models still have an oil dip stick and even a tranny dipstick unlike all X5's that were ever made(refering to the tranny dipstick)

X5 Annoyance
In America, design a safe, offset sized properly donut spare tire for all new X5 vehicles and lose the Run Flat Technology, for persons who prefer to run summer and winter wheels in Northern climate conditions. Run flat technology just make little sense in todays USA freeway/highway safety especially for thelow probablity of a winter flat tire in Minnesota. Give BMW drivers who are above average in risk management a break. THX.

That you get up sold at time of purchase to 'music to mobile' and iPhone cradle - which you pay for at time of purchase, only to be sitting here 7 months later with no iPhone cradle. WTF is up with that?

Don't know if this was said, my high beam indicator hides right behind the steering wheel. PITA always have to tilt my head to make sure it's off. Sheeesh.

I LOVE my X5. I'ts the best car I've ever driven and owned. I agree about the air conditioning turning on automatically, that's annoying. The parking distance control ranks up there for me too. I guess I just don't need it, so when it screams at me I scream back, ha. Other than that. It's a dream car. I hate driving anything else.

That you can't start the car without your foot on the brake (I know I know), I like reach in to start my car (with getting all the way in) and let the AC begin to cool for various reasons (also because I have black interior and it's just way too hot).
AND that you can't back the car up with the drivers door open - when I'm hitching up my boat I like to open the door to look back (I don't have PDC)...not that I'm going down the road at 40mph with the door open, but it drives me insane because I did backed the car up with the door open in my 2004. The electronic intervention is at times tiring - like the gong when you accidentally don't shift correctly using the stupid button on the shift lever - I hate the transmission lever. Tires - hello BMW!!!, the 18" standard shoes on the x35d look too wimpy to be on that car. OK, and other than that I love driving my car and the mileage is great - well at least 20MPG in town is better than 15 with the 4.4i V8.
