2009 BMW X5 SUV xDrive48i 4dr SUV AWD (4.8L 8cyl 6A)
I knew what I was buying......
 Full Disclosure.   Ive been in the automotive service and repair industry for almost 40 years.   That said, I knew of the maintenance and repair issues these Beasts have.   And No,  An extended warranty wont cover the large expenses (as they are considered normal wear and tear).   I bought the vehicle for a song and a dance. 2nd owner, 109k and beautiful.   But i also prepared my own repair fund for it, and will probably gobble that up in no time.   These are expensive to repair and maintain properly.   Budget $2500.00 a year for it and Enjoy the finest performing suv out there.....especially for the money.
