PETERb 
2004 BMW X5 SUV 3.0i AWD 4dr SUV (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
PASS ON THE X5
 Car is not worth the dealer hassle.  My 
X5 lease exp. and the plan was to get 
another one. UNTIL my turn in exp. 2 
dealers Bob Smith,& Century both said 
the car was perfect.  I also asked the 
pick up dealership to precheck the 
car.  They  didn't. Finally dealer 
picks up the car charges $1200 for a 
variety of small issues. I had a fit, 
called up BMW,they then came up with an 
enitrely different list but still 1,200!
If known, I could have repaired all 
items for alot less. I tried resolveing 
with BMW corporate, no response. 
They're to many other good choices out 
there to put up with this nonsense.  I 
just bought the Volvo SUV and I'm happy.
