Hello! 1st post here.

We recently bought an 07 X3 with 42K and its now doing exactly the same thing. Between 35 and 45mph is the worst, especially declerating, but also accelerating and maintaining constant speed. Shame because otherwise its a great sav/suv.

Did you have any trouble convicing the dealer to acknowledge the problem and change the parts? I'm taking it in next week for them to listen, will be my first experience with BMW service.

Thanks!
