StumpyPete is on a distinguished road
it seems to be pretty standard. I have had a problem with my 4x4 system since June. It has had the positioning motor replaced (10 day wait), Transfer box (3 week wait) and I am now waiting for a control unit (5 days and counting). Mix that in with needing to wait until the dealer has a slot, I have now been waiting 8 weeks for my car to be fixed.

Apparently both the positioning motor and transfer box were ok, it was the control box all along.....now call me stupid, but wouldn't that be the first thing to suspect. The dealer tells me that they can only change what they are authorised to do so by BMW UK!

Dealer has been talking to BMW about getting some serious compensation.
