Hmmm.....well...

My father is currently on his 2nd X5d and my sister just ditched her 335vert for a X5 3.5 m-sport.

Now, the reason for the 2nd X5d wax that the first burst into flames while they were driving it (35mph on a side road). The 2nd X5d just got flatbedded to the dealership w/what I like to call "rainbow dash", with every error known to man lit up. This is the second time this has occurred - the first being at 500 miles.The well-done X5d had 30k+ miles on it when it met it's fiery demise (BMW JFK parkway fire on YouTube), while their flatbedded one had maybe 5k on it tops.

My sisters 2011 X5 3.5 M-Sport had been problem free since she picked it up in March.

I was really looking forward to ordering a X5d, but now I'm seriously considering a Range Rover.
