Fed up of inconsistent diagnostics

My BMW is under 6 months old with less than 4000 miles and has been back to the dealer for the same problem. It has an annoying vibrating sound from the engine. The dealer changed the power steering pump and problem still exists; now I am told it might be an engine mount. I would like to return this truck because I am fed up of the inconsistency of what a new car should have. I should have kept my infinti qx4.

The x5 is a great car, it has not broken down once. I am amazed it can do over 161 mph. It also has an amazing crash test rating.

High maintenance lady

I do love my 2009 X5 but have definitely paid the price over the years. This rig is a tank, very solid and great on the highway. That being said the things you hear about maintenance costs are true. The dealership is so expensive you find yourself laughing at the guy when he quotes the cost to fix whatever is wrong with it. Example, the auto rear hatch needs a new spindle, I now have to wrestle it open and closed. To fix...$850. Things like that will eat you up. I do have a qualified BMW mechanic that works rogue and he is half the cost for quality work. However he does get booked up and if she goes and you need a fix he may not be available on the spot. I just drove my 2009 830 miles each way to a beach vacation...it had 147k miles at the onset. It handled like a dream....I had changed the oil at the dealership prior to departure. The 3.0 engine is way more reliable than the V8, avoid that one. I don't want to jinx it so I am not going to say what I was going to say.

Vermillion Red-Liner

Bought a 09 Vermillion Red X5. These are rare and had to be custom ordered. I have owned X5's in the past and this is a great vehicle. It is fun to drive and handles great like a true BMW even though it's a heavy vehicle. It has all the options imaginable. Gas mileage is great for such a beast.
