Yeah, that took a whole 15 minutes for the software update. I had them do that when I had my new wheels installed. Other than that, I haven't had one single problem. My X5 was in the shop over ten...

My local dealer and BMWNA wouldn't replace my battery. I just traded off my lemon and haven't had any problems with my Lexus GX 460 Premium.

They told me the same thing, I didn't drive it enough and had to leave mine on a battery tender every night. The X5 was neither reliable or durable in my opinion.

+1 and everyone made fun of me when I traded mine off for my Lexus. I haven't had but one software update in 9 months. No dead battery, no stupid check engine lights. I'm glad I traded mine.
