NOT turning you away, but giving my experience with them. I wanted one till I went for a ride.

they do ride firm-but not harsh. we have seen issues with radio's but not usually on x5's.
at our shop we haven't seen too many issues with the inner door handles breaking either, but the inner door "pulls" will peel the coating off of them, especially if the people wear jewelry or anything else that will scratch the surface, then they just peel.
so far the x5 electrical system has been good, but the e60/5 series,e61/6 series, and e65/66/ 7 series all suck, as well as the e90/ 3 series.
At least they have a kick ass warranty and full maintenance
