And this was having only done less than 30k miles !

I have had my E46 for 10 yeas and it has not had a single rattle since new. Most failures have only been due to wear and tear, this did not happen until after 4 years of owning the car. I don't recall having any work done under warranty!

I plan on keeping the X5 a long time but these failures are certainly worrying.
damn, looks like we might have some similar production dates, perhaps it was a monday production.lol.
It is really strange how this x5 acted out on me as I had owned alot of Ms in the past, and recently I just sold my 650i which was bought around the similar time in 2008, never had any big or small issues like this one!

I wrote a letter to BMW customer service Canada explaining the disappointment I had to deal with for my x5, but I'm pretty sure they will just read the letter and throw it to the garbage can!

Good to see there aint many x5 on the forum are so troubled though!
