FWIW: the '05 BMW X5 is #2 on my list of the absolute WORST cars I've ever owned. Second only to an '80's Mazda MPV. Based on my experience with that X5, it's unlikely I'll ever own another BMW. The build quality was so piss-poor that I couldn't even sit down in the car without fear something else was going to break-off in the interior.
A low-speed slide into a curb in the snow (HORRIBLE in the snow) actually pulled the suspension out from underneath the car. Totaled it. I was SO HAPPY to be done with that car.
I know everyone says BMW is known for good build quality, but that's not been my experience. (Admittedly my experience is limited to that X5 and my wife's Mini Cooper, which is also HORRIBLE)
YMMV.
