FWIW, I have just about reached wits end with my 2018 F86.
After overcoming my well-documented engine failure saga less than 12 months ago, a few issues have been arising which are really really making me think about switching vehicles:
- Failing boot/truck spindle(s)
- Need new steering rack ends and tie rod ends
- Cracked rear rim 21" black 612M. Have had the rim repaired welded twice now, and still leaking air. Of course, of course, the rim is f**king difficult to source in used parts market (and good luck finding someone that will sell just 1 rim), and havent' even bothered to enquire with dealer because I refuse to shell out the likely $$$ for a new rim from the dealer (assuming BMW still even produces this rim).
In an of themselves, these issues would not be deal-breakers, but coupled with the engine failure experience, is just gettting downright infuriating now. Back to looking at replacement vehicles again.
My opinion - don't bother with the X5M. Keep the Durango.
Rant over!
