Report: Front Outer CV Boots May Tear and Leak at 60,000 Miles
BMW X5 Problem
Model Years Affected: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
Average Mileage: 88,250 mi (55,502 mi - 165,250 mi)
After 60,000 miles, the front outer half-shaft boots tend to tear and leak grease. In most cases, only the boot will have to be replaced; however, if it is not repaired soon enough, the half-shaft may need to be replaced. The front outer boots are put under heavy stress because of their involvement with the suspension when making turns.

RookieI have had to replace both, my other problem has been the tail lights have a steady failure issue, I had to replace two tail lights on the Driver's rear and three tail lights on the passenger rear, the newest issue is the rear wiper stays running even when the stalk switch has been changed to a new one but STILL runs without the switch installed!!!!!!
