Looking to buy a BMW 2012 X5 35i - Need Help

Hello friends,

I am looking to buy a 2012 BMW X5 35i and noticed the following on the carfax report. Thought I'd post it here and see if the repairs listed here should be a concern and I should walk away from the car or does it seem like these repairs are done and should be ok from here on.

The parts of the carfax that worry me are:

1. Fuel tank replaced on 01/2017
2. Fuel filler neck replaced 02/2017
3. Transfer module/computer reprogrammed 03/2017
4. Instrument cluster replaced/repaired also on 03/2017
5. Transfer case removed to complete repairs on 06/2017)
Driveshaft replaced also 06/2017
Front driveshaft replaced also 06/2017

Your input and guidance is much appreciated.

Totally problem car. Run away.

The repairs on 06/26/2017 shows transmission failure.
Who knows how the repairs are and the guy is offloading the car. You can get much better maintained cars.

Thank you, really appreciate the quick response. Glad I asked here. Seemed like a lot happened with this car and it got me wondering. Very happy I joined this forum, I'm new here but appreciate the help.

Cheers
