Normally, I would rather drive my sedan but I find myself asking to borrow her X5 more often than not.

I would not hesitate to buy this car again.
This is my 4th BMW but I never had worse experience with my other cars.

My car spent literally more than 4 months @ dealer for various issue from Jan 2019

I'm still having whistle noise problem that I need to take it to the dealer again but I'm tired

4 years with BMW, 3 years with a '16 535i and 1st year with the'19 X5. So far I've had no issues whatsoever. Before the iDrive update, yes, Carplay was in and out but since the update, the connection has been pretty flawless. I can't really complain so far.

Wife has a '19 MDX and also can't complain about it. No issues whatsoever. Drives fine as well. Maybe we're the lucky few?

Glad to hear that but I'm not that lucky on this one.

1) stop/start switch problem- BDC module changed
2) Kafas camera issue - replaced and not fixed the problem and then they did some coding
3) whistle noise

Is the whistle noise from the vents/center dash or moonroof area? I thought I had the same issue, and someone mentioned it might be the vents. ive been too lazy to go to the dealer as well!

Electronics or software? I know a lot of ppl have been complaining about iDrive, but haven't heard many complaints about any electrical components.
Most people blur the two, as firmware lives in the electronics. Feature doesn't work right? It's the electronics even though a firmware cured the problem. <shrug>

Sorry for your pain. Mine has been perfect. Must have been built on a good day. I hope you get it sorted out. I think the G05 is an amazing vehicle. No regrets at all.
