Hello. I just purchased a 3.0 X5. So far I'm very impressed with the car except for a few nick-nacks that I am expriencing like the following:

1. "Bubbles" found on the leather side-door panel (both doors)
2. CD player panel/cover locking intermittently

These are minor problems that I can live with. However, this morning I noticed a couple of oil leaks on the garage coming from the X5 which prompted me to write this letter.

QUESTION: Please advise if there are any engine problems that I should be aware of or any problems in general that I should expect. Is there a website that lists known problems of the BMW X5 (V-6)? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ryan
