I bought my very clean and well maintained X5 used about 2 years ago for about $7K. After a few thousand spent on the regular stuff, the timing chain guides disintegrated. After one year in the shop and a $7K repair bill it is still running rough and un-driveable. It has 118K on it and has been well kept. My first biggest mistake was buying it and my second biggest was paying to fix it thinking I would have a re-built ride. Don't be seduced by the comfort and fit/trim/etc. These things are a ticking time-bomb. I sort-of enjoyed it for 11 months after buying it even though it was a bit fussy with little stuff during that time. Basically that breaks down to $1300 per month that I spent on that disaster of an experience. Also, don't be fooled by the appearance of more than one star as a summary of this review because I had to give credit for comfort, etc. None of that is good enough to overcome the massive expense of timing chain failure.

For a first year production the X5 has proven to be a top performer. The X5 includes all of the BMW characteristics as the other models. We have experienced only minor problems, e.g. key remote control of outside mirrors is not consistent and is a problem BMW knows about. The console became difficult to open and was corrected. The tailgate has been criticized because it has a top and bottom that open independently. However, when you open the top part of the door everything stays in place rather than rolling out and down the hill, thanks to the bottom part of the rear door. Performance is awesome! It handles in curves like any other BMW and is a thrill.
