I cannot believe that people live with this - I mean there are thousands of X3's out there and they must all do it surely?
Still got the spongey brake pedal issue whereby the pedal will go all the way to the floor when holding say on a steep hill - been told that's normal and to be fair the X3 on the dealers lot I insisted on trying did exactly the same.
Oh, and the really annoying thing being the display on the climate panel that goes of for a second or so randomly during the journey.
I have almost solved the creaky doors with some diving shop silicone lube on the rubbers - much better than it was.
Will see how we go with the software update and I'll report back.

As for the spongy brake pedal, when was the last time you changed the brake fluid? It should be every 2 yrs from
date of manufacture.
As for the climate control panel going dark, mine does that on super-rare occasions. The on-board computer, radio display, and climate control will all blank out randomly (not from auto-dimming because of light/sun angle), and then come back again. I haven't bothered to get this fixed, but I think it is SIB 62 10 06
I have been slightly embarrassed when my friend noticed that the passenger airbag off light comes on/off randomly during trips. He's like "Um, is my airbag actually off?!?!?" I'm like "errrrr yeah........um..........its quirky like that. I coulda gotten it fixed but didn't feel like messing around with everything."
