8/7/2010 - Heath Carpenter
I like to think the BMW X5 is reliable. After 5 months of having my 2010 BMW X5 30i at 5200 miles, the electrical system has completely failed. The dealership has no clue what is going on with it. I am wondering what the future holds.

Do you drive a 2010 BMW X5?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
