Four problems related to other fuel system have been reported for the 2005 BMW X5. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Car starts to shake almost uncontrollably when going at a high speed on freeway and noticing leaks but not sure from where.
The 2005 X5 BMW v8 has given me all kinds of problems. From replacing engine, transmission, catalytic converter, valve gaskets to fuel injector and ignition problems. The car shuts off while still on drive and sometimes in motion. Car has all types of problem and continues to drain me financially.
Engine iced up and hydro-locked from condensate. Stalled in traffic with slippery roads, in front of a logging truck. Very narrowly escaped collision. Found many incidents of this on internet and it appears that BMW has allowed this to continue over time and is not acknowledging issue. Repair shop I'm using has dealt with many incidents of this, too. Used for 17 mile each way daily commute so short trip-related problems should not be an issue.
I am reporting a design flaw with BMW and a major safety issue. I have had 2 oil separators go bad over the last 6 years. This issue has to be escalated from a "service bulletin" to a full blown recall. I this problem is not only a safety issue, but greatly depreciates the resale value of our vehicles not to mention the out of pocket costs due to repairs, lost wages, and towing to mention a few. None of us in good conscience could sell our vehicles in a midwest or northern climate and pass this problem on to the next owner - we need to unite and pass the problem back to the source: BMW.
