Problems with 08 X5's?

[bmw_jeff_X5]

Recently sprung a leak from a cracked radiator at 44K miles. I also had a rear suspension issue 6 mos ago that I thought was the infamous tailgate rattle. Thankfully under full warranty and CPO to take care of these issues. I have 1 year and 8 mos left on CPO. Will I keep it past then???....hhhmmmm

Cracked coolant reservoir, cracked style 214 wheel without hitting anything, corroded can-bus cable, battery crapped out so windows were opening themself while car was parked and unattended, gator surrounding on sunroof came off, self closing mechanism fell off inside of door, creaking panels from hell, plastic fittings under the passenger seat cracked twice (don't know how when no one even sits in that seat), I am sure I can add a few more things when I can think of them. These were just off the top of my head. All items replaced under warranty thankfully as they occurred in the first 9 months of ownership. First and last BMW...probably

Fuel Pump and Thrust Bushing (Control Arms) are pretty standard to go out at 60K+ miles. I know on my '01 X5 they went around that time.

Did you keep up with annual coolant changes? I am terrified of the coolant valley leak. From my understanding, this occurs because the PH in the coolant drops causing it to be acid and eating through a rubber gasket. If you've changed your coolant annually or frequently, maybe it's a good incentive to sell the vehicle before it occurs...
