Car had 56000 miles on it, at 99500 motor went, then air springs, parking brake, takata recall,when the transmission, vacuum pump, and how the recall on the fuel pump. Today the I drive went out in total myself and the warranty company have spend over 24000. Dollars on a car that per bmw is the ultimate driving machine, more like junk!!! And no parts in sight to repair the air bags or the fuel pump. I think a class action should be filed. I'm 58 years old not 18 I take good care of my cars. The car value on kelly blue book is only 12000. We need help to make bmw stand behind where quality not their hand in our back pockets, no car that cost 77500.00 in 2007 should have all these problems. A ford or chevy would do better. I've been told that bmw knew there was a problem with the 2007-2010 x5 with the 4.8 I engine and I drive but never made it good, just ask anyone that owned one. My last one I think kia would hold up better!!!!!!!!!!!! By the way the car has 125200 now, I'm afraid to drive it, it just quits with no warning.
