Angry Woes of my first X5

Hello everyone this is kind of my formal hello. I have been mainly on the bimmerforums because I have had 4 E38's but roughly a week ago I bought a 2007 X5 3.0iS with 98,000 mls. The vehicle looks almost new (I will post pictures later). BUT NOW as of last Friday it has had nothing but issues.It started with a check engine light for emissions. I might have left the fuel cap unfastened but I am not sure I have cleared the code and it has not come back on. I have confirmed that the cooling fan has stopped working, the transmission is no longer shifting properly but I think this may be happening as the fluid is getting to warm because of the cooling fan not working. during that time the dynamic lights stopped working and my DTC/4x4 stopped working. So far I have loved the vehicle and don't blame BMW but rather the dealership as they sold me a unsafe piece of junk that overheated and turned off in the middle of an intersection nearly killing me!! I can see signs that someone tested the fan before I got the car. They forgot to mention they replaced the valve cover gaskets which are now leaking. They did not notify me of such issues before purchase even though they said they did a pre-purchase inspection and they car was in great mechanical condition they said.

ok sorry!!!! huge rant over!
