I have the same problem with mine Just tradded in a 2000 x5 with 150,000. I got a '08 with 35,000. Its been in the shop for two weeks almost. Had front end noise. Just got a email this morning they replaced one strut and going to replace the other strut. Sat radio presets work on my wifes key but when i use my key the screen is blank. I did a little research and found if i pull the fuse to the radio my presets come back but after ten min the screen goes blank. The consol got down to 44 degrees. They repaired the a kinked vent line. The engine would hesitate from a start. Dealer could not reproduce yet. Almost feel i shiuld have just keeped my '00. I hope this trans is better than the old one.
