2001 X5 Lemon?
 I have had my 3.0 X5 since it was new and have had very many mechanical and electrical problems.  Replaced every window regulator at least once.  Cam shart position sensors replaced.  Eats brakes.  AC went out just as soon as the warranty was up.  Wiring harness had to be replaced because the engine would stall in turns.  Out of warranty repair even though BMW knew about the issue.  The paint is peeling in places the sun doesn't shine.  Not a joke, it is peeling between the doors, under the hood and in very, very strange places.  Another issue BMW knew about but did nothing to let anyone know.   I love it but can't afford it any longer. My next car???  Not a BMW!!
