kamichael is on a distinguished road
1. The main center radiator was hit with a high pressure washer - it looks like you took a screwdriver and scraped it up and down (6-12") in several areas, very noticeable.
2. Somehow the rubber window seal on the driver's side cargo area was cut and a 1-2" chunk of rubber is torn out.

The entire radiator and entire window need to be replaced. BMW came out and declined replacing both items. They stated the damage was done by the dealer, so the dealer is covering them both. I am just upset as this is a brand new, specal order car that is now being dismantled by the dealer, of which I have little faith in - their carelessness caused the damage to begin with. The window looks to be a very intricate job too.

FYI - To make matters worse, the replacement window received from BMW now has a TV antenna (looks like a defroster). They state that this is now the only window produced by BMW. I thnk this is the non-US spec window and cannot believe that the window without the antenna is not made all of a sudden - and that BMW is installing windows in US destined X5's with antennas that are not connected or used! (I have another thread inquiring about the part number if anyone knows it).
