2003 BMW X5 SUV 4.4i AWD 4dr SUV (4.4L 8cyl 5A)
Teutonic titan
 My x5 has 75k on it.  I use it for working in 7 counties in norcal.  With the exception of a sometimes humorous glitch with the speaker telephone, it has not had one single repair except consumables.  The engine and transmission have performed flawlessly, and on the rare occasion that I have had it in really serious snow, it has been a panzer tank.  This is my 4th BMW, and I have had two Saabs, two Mercedes, a Volvo, a Trooper, and a Grand Cherokee--not counting beaters when I was a youngster.  Nothing is even close.  Fuel economy is great when compared to other v8 suvs.  The Grand Cherokee was an outhouse on wheels comparatively.
