I had absolutely no trouble with my X5 today

It drove like a dream and I haven't
had problems in quite a while.
Anyone else having positive experiences..........

I drove 340 miles today in the pouring down rain, and the X was flawless. RainX helped out a lot too. And I average 21.7mpg.

My old '01 ran very well today; first time out of the garage in over a week...
I am not a fan of the new Michey Diamaris, however.

Some idiot put a scratch on the rear panel just under the license plate.
Other than that, it's a great old car; sorta like its owner.

No X5 in the garage any longer, but we just finished a trip in the X3. 1500 km in crap conditions, snow/ice/slush. Vehicle performed flawlessly. 9.8 litres/100 km, 29 mpg (imperial) on the trip, with three adults and a full load of luggage, at temperatures down to -15C.

We're approaching 97K miles and problem free in over two years! Just had a full-synthetic oil change last week and she's running as good as new. Took her out tonight and got a "check fog light bulb" message and sure enough, passenger side is out. No biggie, I have a spare pair and will replace this weekend in under 30 minutes or so. So, to answer your question - no major issues for quite some time! Thanks for asking!

Thanks for the thread. Nice.

Drove almost 2.500 miles on a week trip into ..... TEXAS.. last month.
Flawless. Smoooove.

Ran the hell out it in the open lands. The Stealth One and Valentine One are amazing. Santa Fe to Lubbok...4 hrs 2 mins. Final mileage was 15.7 She worked hard, but she liked it!
