Got the car back last night at 7pm and it is back in the shop by 7:30 am this morning.
At 3am the alarm went off. Gave BMW the benefit of the doubt and thought "It is 'fixed', it must be a squirrel that caused it", so I unlock and lock it from my front door. 15 minutes later it goes off again, waking up my 1 and 2 year olds. Go outside to find 'Hood Ajar' on the dash. So glad I deposited my BMWCCA $1k check yesterday but I'm fed up with the terrible service I'm receiving and the truck as a whole.

I hope you aren't bringing your car to Life Quality BMW in BK. They are the worst dealership around here. Real bunch of monkeys working cars there. I live close by but I still bring my car out to LI for service.

Habberstad BMW. I bought my 335i there and after the Navigation issues I had there I ended up buying and servicing my M3 at Competition in Smithtown. Only bought the X5 and servicing it at Habberstad since they were the only ones with a decent X5 for immediate purchase last month when my GL got totaled. After drinking the BMW Koolaid for too long I am strongly considering going with a C63 next year or if my X5 turns out to be a lemon go back to Porsche.

Hello everyone,
until now I have done over 5K miles in highway and I'm worried about the performances of the Gear and of the Turbo, when it has to downshift, mainly from 6^-7^ to 5^-6^ in Drive mode, to improve the overtaking of another car. To have the downshift, I've to put the accelarator pedal all down, the engine go up to over 3K+ turns and there is 1-2 seconds in Turbo Lab. It's the same in Confort and Sport mode. It seem as an 80s years turbo!!! (but today I'm not mode old as in the 80s ...) I've previous experience with similar engines and gears from Audi and the engine power was every at my disposal when requested, in microsecs. any comments? (sorry for my english, I'm italian ) |

Back to the squeaky bolsters issue - the dealer simply greased something inside the seat on the right hand side (from where the sound came) - issue completely gone (hopefully forever).

Dealer said that the error messages I get:
1) cruise control error (I get it every time I start the car) 2) chasis error (happens at time, need to restart the car and it goes away) Service tells me they are software errors? Sounds strange, but they say they do not have a software update yet, expected in 2 weeks and they will do it for free overnight under warranty. Now, when I had my old car (E71) I heard that you DO NOT want to do a software update on your car. Now my question is does it make sense what they say and is it OK they run a software update or am I then looking at some other problem. I had a newer loaner and noticed that there are very small difference in the NAVI for example, but I do not like them (e.g. to shut off additional info on the navi screen you need to press the idrive and the info on radio and such dissapears, on this newer build you go through another small menu to remove additional info). I did not play around much and do not know if there are other differences. On a side note I want to do a BMW OEM performance upgrade (power) and the dude at the service is telling me I have to upgrade the brakes then as well? I do not think that he is right. I planned to install brakes when they are anyways due for a change. |

I still have issues with my HUD. My profile ( as well as my wife) is not recognized for the HUD height only and reverts to the default mode when the other driver gets into the vehicle. All other functions on our profiles are recognized and changed to our setting when we drive the vehicle, except for the HUD height. The dealer said it probably is the key FOB since everything else is picked up. Oh by the way, when I press my profile seat number, the HUD height is adjusted to the correct height. Only the FOB does not recognize the HUD height.

Now when I lock it, I press the lock button twice on the remote which disables the motion sensor in the interior cabin. Until BMW finds a fix for you, I would suggest trying that. |

I doubt its a motion sensor when it says its an open hood. 33 days of ownership, in the shop for 11 of them. BMWNA better have some news for me tomorrow.

Latest warnings. Tomorrow will be day 12. Its also the last day(3- 5 business days) before a BMW resolution specialist is to get back to me on a buy back. Otherwise it is time to lawyer up.

Follow up on my tire pressure issues.
The dealer checked the pressure using their digital gauge and it shows the correct number between the actual and what shown on the i-Drive. So, that concludes that I need to get better tire gauge. But with that, that's mean the dealer didn't put the correct tire pressure as indicated on the door jam. I got angry at the SA since he didn't get it right at the first place and wasted my time.

When you guys push the 'Intelligent Safety Button' does your pedestrian warning stay checked? I can check it, leave the menu and go back in and its unchecked. I can shut the car off, turn it back on and its NEVER on. Is that by design or is my truck still messed up.

Thanks very much. Would have been even better if there would've been a service bulletin issued. Always easier to show the service department a descriptive letter with a BMW logo on it

Here is the video of what I'm describing. If anyone can confirm this is normal, that would be helpful. Also note there were some NSFW words spoken on the radio while recording so lower your volume...
