Just had the start stop issue looked at yesterday. I was told that I was pressing the button too quickly. Was told to press and hold for about a second when turning off the engine.
Email from the SA: "For the start / stop button issue there was a fault for the button being pressed too quickly to turn off the car....By pressing and holding the button the car will shut off. The button is working correctly." |

Its a software issue that needs to be addressed. BMW really doesn't need the bad press... this is happening to a lot of us and only with the F15. |

Button is a problem: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1V6T...p=form_confirm
And, yes, on the other thread on the first page, I am peddling my new survey which will be more comprehensive. Your input or volunteer work to improve it is much welcome...can't miss the thread: "The Definitive Survey of2014 X5 F15", complete with typo in the title. And yes, I am looking at the raw data input. Under "other" one of you wrote:
That one wins the prize so far. Last edited by MattBianco; 08-29-2014 at 04:38 PM.. |

They must busy figuring out a rollout for the solution at this point.....a software fix is likely undergoing testing now, if not available already My Late July 2014 build has no issues with this. My big worry is the soft close doors. Few have them. Many that do, are having problems with them popping out of full lock (ajar) at high speeds. Meanwhile, with your help and that of others who have volunteered with the survey design, this (below) should provide a far more meaningful feedback than the prior survey I sent. It is in draft: http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1029153 |

To fix items 4&5 they have installed the latest firmware update, I've had no issues since other than various coding mods I'd done previously have been overwritten (had to reapply) The items above took a total of four days to resolve...not impressed!

I tried to get my dealer (or service dept) to fix my rusty hubs, but they refused with the excuse that the hubs are designed to rust. I think that explanation is ridiculous Anyone else that has succeeded getting this fixed by the dealer? |

My reasoning was that since the factory paint the hubs, they are, by definition, a painted surface and their premature rusting is unacceptable - particularly on a premium high value vehicle. If they were bare steel it might be expected and more acceptable!

Well they gave my X5 the new update and I think it has solved all my weird problems. Under software on my X5 it says :
Media: MN-002.045.001 Telephone: TN-002.045.001 |

So when they replaced the HUD a month ago, they ended up braking my trim.
The dealer was notified and I brought the car in last week to show them the piece that needed replacing. This week I had an appointment to correct and all that came in was the vent which doesn't need replacing. The silver trim is what needs replacing and the dealer cannot find it now. Really a terrible shop.

Wow, is this normal amount of problems for this type of vehicle.
I am beginning to think I got one of a kind E70 with non of the major issues listed here or anywhere else. (other than the cargo area rattle) A little concerned now.. |

You just got lucky with your E70. Practically any BWM model release comes with loads of minor glitches and some problems... if you don't want to wait for an LCI, be prepared. As easy as that.

Mine was production date 5th April and no rust or deposits whatsoever on discs or inside wheels. My E70 had them from the get-go....strange. |

The dealer sent me pictures from one car from their showroom today. So a brand new car with 0 miles on it. It has the same issue. I know that this is a cosmetic issue, but still I don't think that it should be there. I believe that BMW has hired too many accountants that overrides the engineers I have 3 BMW's earlier and 12 cars in total. None of them had this issue. I mean brake discs has been used for more than 60 years. It can't be rocket science to get them not to rust. |
