"Had to replace CV joint on a car driven less than 50K"

"Today the warning lights came on for overheating. Car was towed to shop"

"Had issue with sensor. Could not het var in gear $5000 to replace sensor"

"Had a intermittent engine warning light; “oil level too high” Dealer said oil level was correct and after 2 weeks of troubleshooting, failed to find actual problem. Based on BMW Forum, reading about other X5 diesel owners with same problem I told them to change the oil level sensor which they insisted was good.....it cured the problem; no further false alarms in last 2 months of driving."

"Had to replace the oil pan and the oil gasket on a car that had less than 50K. Costs totaled over $3500."

"They wear out too fast!"

"Loud noise when breaking. Replaced the brakes and rotors"

"The left rear brake light only works when it “feels like it” Again, a continuous problem. Have replaced the bulb, the bulb and casing, the thing that surrounds the casing. Tried everything possible. It gets fixed, I drive over an unavoidable speed bump and out it pops"

"You touch door handle to lock/unlock doors. One failed, one is not reliable"

"Passenger side door would not open with keyless remote. Was not covered under warranty because it was not an electrical issue. Replaced door knob at a cost of $900.00. Had a similar problem later with rear door knobs, said that it covered. Stated that it was the wording of the issue which covered it by warranty."

"Cover will not close"

"The mechanical mechanism that opens and closes the panoramic sunroof jammed and the sunroof became stuck in an open position. It was repaired under warranty, but the dealer needed 10 days to complete the repair"

"Auto close/open required repair"

"Windows missing felt. Doors not properly aligned in frame"

"Rear portion of back lift-gate rattles and is not typical "BMW quality""

"My BMW X5 has a loud rattling noise in the dash. It has occurred since the 2nd year I've owned the vehicle, and the service people have not been able to fix it. Very disappointing for such an expensive SUV."

"Was experiencing excessive oil consumption for the past year, eventually having to add a quart of engine oil approximately every 250-500 miles. As part of a class action lawsuit, dealer replaced engine valve seals, vents, turbo return lines. Since the repair was done 3+ months ago I've driven 2,000 miles without adding a quart of oil."

"it is currently in the shop getting a $4000+ valvetronic engine replacement/rebuild. (covered by the extended CPO warranty.)"

"Problems getting car into gear."

"Front tires were wearing unevenly and are very noisy. Had the dealer align the front end and asked why I was not told of the problem when the car was brought in for normal maintenance over the course of the warranty (4 years) when I complained about the excessive tire noise on previous visits. Did not receive a satisfactory answer."

"rotted from salt"

"Their was an oil leake from underneath the car. Up on raising the car and close inspection at the dealer. It turned out that it was coming from the steering pump. The had to replace it which is very expensive, but it was under their 5 years warranty so it coast me nothing"

"This was actually a sensor that regulates spark/fuel mix. It seemed like my battery was dead or, the starter was going out. Warranty company (aftermarket) wouldn't pay for programming, only the part."

"The dealer insisted on changing the harness at its expensive."

"Loose trim on the front end, lower panels"

"wood paneling on drivers door had stress cracks in it...it was replaced"

"replaced on recall"
