X5 real issues

Disappointed big time with the X5. Paid USD 152,000 with local taxes.

It's a brand-new car manufactured in USA
At only 580km on the meter, after few weeks of usage here are the faults and issues.

Steering hum when turning.
Suspension noise coming from front sides, spreading to the center along the steering rack, as if an old vehicle badly maintained.
Thumping noise from brake booster. Also comes when park brake is engaged.
Driver seat belt warning malfunctioning, even at 50kmph no warning.
Two hub caps lost, weaken bonding, emblem comes off.
Chrome molding on rear bumper came off, weak double sided sticker.
Speed warning does not rest and does not warn if speed is exceed, even after dropping speed below the set limit by 10kmph.
Does only 11 km per liter of petrol on expressway at 100kmph, on eco pro.
Auto lights want turnoff in broad daylight. There was nothing covering the sensor.
Boot door makes noises, as if an old vehicle badly maintained.

What a disappointment. Dealer is willing to cover with warranty. Who wants to remove all parts and repair a brand-new car.

Does X5 have any quality control at all before releasing the cars to customers?
