Issues
Bought 2016 X5 F15 (M Sport) 4 months ago with 73K Kms.
- In the first month the passenger seat leather formed a small rip due to wear & tear, and BMW covered it under warranty. - The steering column adjuster motor was also making a squeaking noise and BMW changed the steering column or motor. - 2 weeks later humming noise started to come from the rear differential. BMW changed that under warranty. - Last month i started to notice hesitation while acceleration. BMW changed the transfer case under warranty. This is my first BMW and I am surprised at the poor build quality. |

A minor issue / bug is the rain detection system.
When set on auto with the rear on; then turning off the car and exiting. Now you come Back in and start to drive, the front one work fine, the rear is in ON position while not triggering. |

X5 Panoramic Sunroof Died
Hi Folks, This is my first post so apologies if I screw something up. I hope y’all doing well and staying healthy. I came across a strange issue last night and need guidance. So, I hit the open button on my sunroof, the shade went all the way and sunroof itself titled UP and DOWN then completely died on me. No matter which direction I press the button, there is literally no response. Not even a single click. Lucky for me that it died in a close position but please let me know if someone had this issue. Any tips and tricks you want me to try, do let me know. Thanks.
I have 2014 X5 xDrive35i. |

Transfer case - F15 50i
I just took my 14' F15 in for service last week. Only 32k miles.
They told me the transfer case needs to be rebuilt to the tune of $8400. Anyone else experience this? Of course, its out of warranty now. |

I would ask for goodwill since it's such low miles. If they don't go for it take it to an Indy.

You need to “romance” them so that it is mutually beneficial...you being the nice customer stuck between a rock and a hard place...and they are courting a long term BMW customer:

If you really have to and BMW won't cover it under goodwill, then I would go for a 2nd hand TC which would be a much easier swap. Also BMW in Aus refuses to rebuild any internals (TC, Diff etc) and just replaces them with either replacement units (rebuilt in the factory from Germany). I would let them bill you for a huge amount of labour hours for rebuilding at site. |

2014 Random Vent Close
While AC is on All vents will stop flowing air but blower stays on making a lot of noise, then the air blows from the vents again. Has anyone had this and know the resolve. It’s quite annoying. Blowing is blowing but then air is blocked. Doesn’t go anywhere else, just blocked, then comes back. This goes on and off. If a long trip it’ll stop around 20 min down the hwy.
