Hi folks,

335 owner here and the wife and I have been thinking about picking up an X5 3.5 as our next car.

How reliable is the X5? Looking online the X5 doesn't seem to rank very well.

What are the common issues that everyone has with this platform?

The last time i was at my dealer I sat in the X5 and the interior materials seems to be more plasticy than other bmw's iv'e own before. Especially for a 60K+ car.

Lastly when is the New X5 due ? 2012?

Thanks!
Alan
