 I owned 2 BMW X5 (2005 4.4 and 2008 4.8) and will never own one again... hard to say for someone who grew up in Germany and lived there for 27 year. I have paid over $6k in  repairs within  the last year and now it broke down again, Alternator, AC, Coolant leak, Water pump, rear suspension Air Bags, burns oil etc etc., plus it had a number of recall for equipment that was not available for a great length of time. Stay away from this company that used to have a great reputation but  engineered the ultimate driving nightmare in the ground. Made in Germany was lost somewhere in Bavaria... was fuer eine Schande!
