1st: My 2011 Diesel does not drop a lick of anything on the ground except for water from the A/C...yes i do check periodically becuase i am paranoid about those kinds of things
2nd: I had this happen on my 2011, after folded down the bottom portion of the hatch. I folded up the bottom and could not shut the lift using the button. i went and slammed the bottom part closed and no problem since but then i have not folded down the bottom since. If you have problems opening, i would suggest a warranty inspection and fix
3rd: I have winter mats with hooks however on my 535, it does have velcro stickies for the carpet, the fasteners do exist, if someone will sell them to you
Good luck on your recent purchase

1st, I parked it in the garage after bringing it home and it dripped a tiny bit of oil on the ground. Is this common? It's still under warranty so I might have the dealer look at it, just wondering if this is just an E70 thing.
2nd, the rear hatch is the powered type and doesn't work properly. It will go up (sometimes) but not go back down and has to be manually pulled down. I figure this will be covered under warranty, just wondering if this is a common problem (as in, it will happen again)
3rd, on our E53, the floor mats were held in with big velcro-like disks that screwed in to the floor. I noticed the mats on the E70 have the same velcro-like loop setup that attaches to those disks, but no disks in the floor. Is that something I can add? I hate the mats sliding around everywhere and it's a little disappointing that my 2005 had those holders but the new one doesn't 
4th, there's a cord with what looks like a phone-type plug that's coiled up right next to the right side of the gauge cluster. I can take pictures of it if necessary. Any ideas what it could be for? My guess was power supply for a radar detector or something but just wondering if it's an option or accessory I haven't seen before.
Thanks for any help  |
