Sudden Untimely Death

We purchased our 2011 BMW X5 SUV in 2013 with 12,650 miles and maintained it meticulously to approximately 95,000 miles when the engine had a total catastrophic failure in Long Boat Key, Florida. The vehicle was towed initially to a BMW repair shop (Tuffy's - kudos to them) and then BMW of Sarasota where it sits today. Total catastrophic failure (suddenly wheels locked, engine died, could not be restarted) was completely unexpected for a well maintained luxury vehicle with only 95,000 miles.

List is long, over $18k is OEM part failures. Only one item (because it was under a factory recall was the $11,000 transmission). My favorite is when I start to describe the problem and the service manager finishes my statement with the issue and has a quote to repair it before he ends his statement. What a joke! I moved away from the dealer and to a certified aftermarket service shop. They are not much better. General where and tear items I understand, however to get too those general where and tear items, like a oil pump seal ($35) fixed for $700 or shock/strut mount bushings ($118 pr) $2100 because of the dis-assembly required is BS. I have had friends, quite a few actually who like the car, looked into them and were actually going to buy them until I gave them my list of repairs. Not one purchased. I feel in doing so I am doing a customer service for them every single time. All I do is lay out my receipt book, the feedback on the issues I get in writing from the "customer" service managers and lead techs and let BMW do their own sales pitch.
BMW are terrible especially if buying from Peoria

Very expensive to maintain, especially if you buy it from Peoria, il. Cheaters. They'll stab you as they did it on me. Bmw looks good but, it's not worth it, trust me, that was my second x5. I will never buy it again. It was 2011 and now we are in Feb. 2011 and I sold it finally. Hate bmw and hate bmw Peoria , illinois.

The repairs on my bwm before 86,000 miles were crazy. Starter, water pump, front suspension, ac nozzle, gaskets. The cams on the car are now shot and the engine needs to be replaced. This gets even worse. I found tools left in my engine from the BWM repair shop.

My BMW X5 2011 mileage only 25000. I went to the dealer for driveshaft recall fix. Dealer told me that in my BMW transfer case leak oil and needs replacement seal soon. Cost is $600+, and I accepted. They also told me when they removed the seals to replace the seals they saw that the leak was coming from the transfer box control unit not just the seals. The root cause of the excessive leak is the control unit. this repair would be $2134 and up. I am wounding is that car is the biggest piece of garbage available at this time?
