The BMW X5, especially with the V8, is a engaging car to drive.

As soon as it hit 100,000 miles it has been very expensive problems one after another. Two oil leaks. Water pump went out as soon as I got my second oil leak fixed two days later. Couple days before Christmas I got a big crack in the overfill reservoir left me stranded. Now the mechanic tells me that I need a transfer case which is about $2000 just for the part not only that I also need a high-pressure fuel pump which is about $750. Ridiculous. Other than that I think the car is amazing

As with all BMW's, the quality of the car is good. I think (especially compared to the Lexus LS I traded for this) that the Idrive is very easy to use. The only thing I don't "get" at all is the electronic transmission shifter. Instead of clicking into gear, it's basically a switch. You have to squeeze the buttom on top and one on the side to put it in park rather than just shifing to park. Sometimes I don't push the buttons right and it doesn't go into park and I lurch forward.

I bought my 2012 BMW X-5 SUV brand new from South Motors BMW in November of 2011. I love the car, the way it drives, the quality of the exterior and interior BUT it has given me nothing but problems. It now has 78,000 and I must have fixed so many seals trying to stop the oil leaks. It still leaks oil. Yesterday, another engine light at 11:30pm at night coming home. I have changed the radiator, all kinds of engine parts, etc. In the last 12 months my insurance company has paid over $11,000 in repairs and I have paid about $2,300. Am I the only one with this issue??? I still love the car and hate to get rid of it. However, can't take much more. Does it ever stop? It is just not reliable.
Awesome
