There are 2 different types of vehicle ownership...
On warranty and off warranty. I think that those with positive experiences with X5s (and Audis) are the people that bought them new or owned them with warranty coverage intact.
Off warranty, when they are passed their design life (length of warranty or lease), things change drastically. The issue with the X5 is that many of the 'simple' things a DIYer can otherwise do, require dealer intervention to vinmatch electrical parts once they fail.
Don't get me wrong, when they work they are awesome vehicles the problem is when they start to break (Inevitable) they get expensive real fast.
