X5 Biggest Design Flaw
Didn't see a thread on this issue, so I couldn't resist starting one.
What is the deal with the coin holder?!!? For such a technically advanced vehicle as the x5, that rubber sorry-excuse-for-a-coin-holder in the center console is an embarrassment. The only thing harder than putting coins in is taking them out. All slots are the same size, smaller coins are unreachable beneath larger ones...I don't even use it any more, and have resorted to dropping my loose change into the bottom of the center console instead. Am I alone in my frustration?? I absolutely LOVE my x5...but I can't stand the coin holder. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Peace....  2004 x5 4.4i Sport Package Comfort Package Sliding Cargo Floor Heated Front/Rear Seats 19" Rims

I use the ashtray for coins, and just quarters in the holder. Meters in Chicago only take quarters anyway so its not that big of a deal to me.

Design Flaws.
Door lock actuators, window regulators, water pumps, ball joints, control arms, most electronic modules fitted, sway bar links, final stage resistor, gauge cluster/MID dead pixels, software issues, nav. issues, t'stat housing, rear door micro-switch, bulb holders F/R..........

You gotta be kidding right? This is a design flaw?

Here's what i use. It's portable.
It shares the space with my digital camera and toll transponder. Nice and cozy are they in the center console. Quote:
