Replying to: pp2009pp (Sep 26, 2009 5:11 pm) For every individual that trashes the entire brand because they had a problem with one particular vehicle, you could hear plenty of positives stories. For example, I've had six X5's and have had zero trouble with any of them (with the possible exception of the 2001 X5 4.4i, which was the first model year of the first BMW SUV ever.) Even that first model only required one warranty service visit for the entire time that I drove it. None of my other X5s ever went back to the dealer for anything other than scheduled maintenance. Of the 15 BMWs that I've owned over the years, only one had a significant problem (2002 745i) and that problem was well documented and resolved under warranty. I have significant experience (multiple vehicles, over 200 hours of track time, cross-country rallies, visits to factories on two continents, etc) with the brand and I have complete confidence in BMW's reliability. Then I look at the "Learn More" ad to the right as I'm typing this response and see that the 2009 X5 has an Edmund's owner satisfaction rating of 9.1 out 10. Apparently, the major issue that you're having isn't common.

Replying to: anon3 (Sep 27, 2009 3:59 pm) You have owned how many X5s? Do you drive them all for under 18 months...are you a dealer? How in the world do you get so many cars in such a short space of time? What were you doing at the factories? There is automobile experiences from those who are in the business and there is automotive experiences from the real world. Why don't you try out the 2009 X3?

Replying to: pp2009pp (Oct 15, 2009 2:58 pm) Perhaps not but I've only been hearing one dissenting voice. That one is more scientific?  tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
