On the other hand, I have not had one hiccup in my X5M in almost 2 years/13K miles, knock on wood, well except for the coolant expansion tank. BUT, it has had 35K worth of repairs, i.e. new transmission, new turbos, coolant lines, control arms etc., before I bought it. When a BMW service manager tells me it's not going to be as reliable as a Lexus, I'll take his word for it. Having said that, yes, I do love my X5M, with full knowledge it can be a pain in the ass to own, LOL.

Your car has already had turbos, and transmission replaced?
Unless your over 200k miles. It sounds like the previous owner really beat the balls off that thing. That is not normal to have replaced both the transmission, and turbos.
