At this point, BMW warranty has shelled out so much money fixing my X5 50i that I could have bought a new one.

Love the vehicle, love driving it, shocked that it's the least reliable vehicle I've ever owned.


Hey, I just got my BMW x5 from a private party. Bought it with 89k and 2 months later drive shaft fails and blows a hole in transmission. Come to find out my car is apart of the recall. Do you think bmw would take care of the transmission since it got damaged by a recalled drive shaft?
They certainly should replace the transmission as well! sounds like many others had that done for them as well.
