2007/2008 X5
As a previous owner of a 2004 and 2005 BMW X5 3.0i (and most recently a lease returned 2008 VW Touareg VR6) I wanted to ask everyone for their personal information on a 2007/2008 X5 I've decided to stop leasing and perhaps go the CPO route. How has the reliability been? Any major issues or rattles?

I then bought an X5 M, it is now 5 weeks old, I had use of it for 2 weeks before it went down with an engine fault, for 3 weeks now I have been in the dealers 3.0D X6 loaner. That is my X5 experience, summarised in one word, shit.

My '08 3.0 has been very reliable and I put 120 miles a day on it. Nothing but an oil change and a bushing replacement so far. (23k miles on the odometer)

My 08 X5 4.8 has been very reliable. It now has a bit more than 50k, has extended warranty and maintenance up to 100k. My last X5 4.4i went up to 110k or so with just regular maintenance so I am expecting similar reliability with this 4.8. I usually put the car through pretty decent work out and put about 70-80 miles/day.

My only advice is to avoid the 2007s, since it was the first year of the E70.
Glad you'll be back in a Bimmer, B-Boi!

Hey sweetie - what's up?
I don't think I had any issues with my '08 4.8i. The only things that come to mind are that my steering wheel peeled and I had the battery drain issue - that's it.
