X5 Reliability (archive)

Over the last five years I've leased a 7-series and 5-series - both great cars. Last month I ordered an X5 4.4i with basically every option but the sport package. To date, I haven't had any real problems with the bmws' I've leased. I've heard there have been pretty significant reliability problems with the X5. I'd be interested in what people's experience has been with this model. Thanks.
