bmw  [0.00]
2008 X5 3.0si

- something in the sunroof frame broke
- battery replaced
- side mirror motor failed
- reversing camera failed
- fuel pump replaced
- tailgate soft close failed, new motor needed
- metal latch holding rear seats upright broken (first week!)

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.
