When I ordered my vehicle, they actually built one with the wrong options. I declined it, and my CA was able to secure a build slot like 5-7 days later. So, the two vehicles were only built a week apart. Interestingly enough, the other vehicle has started having issues as well. It was a end October, early November production.

Perhaps bad batch of engines.

Well it makes me wonder, the car I bought was an in stock car so although it only went on the road October this year it was build almost a year previous.

Maybe there is a bad batch of engine parts, or maybe these are early engines and now the design has been modified, guess we'll never know.

I don't know. As much as I love this vehicle (the idea of the X5M), I am seriously switching to a different model. If we had the F11 535 here, it would be a no brainer. However, I am debating back and forth. Probably will get another X5M. Definitely switch colours this time. Got to get the buyback first...

Unacceptable. I had problems with my '09 and my dealer in Cinci really stepped up. I am not allowed to talk about it but suffice to say, I am not driving an X5 with any problems anymore. All this from a dealer I had never used. My first X5, an '05 4.8is was bought at "the store" (if this helps the OP). From my experience, it all depends on the dealer, as they go to bat for you. Good Luck

The dealer, overall, has been excellent. My only complaint lay in the phone call from Thursday, trying to pass the buck because of the fact that the car was purchased in one state, licensed in another, and the servicing dealer was in a third. This was all bunk, of course.

Other than that, they have been very good to me. I have had a BMW loaner at my disposal all this time, which is nice since the other closest dealer refused any service loaners.

So, we shall see what happens on Monday. Oh, and BTW, 2 more error lights since last posting.

BMWNA has, according to the regional rep involved, refused to replace the car.

They are stating that I either need to do one of the following:

1). Contact a dealer in KY (where I live and vehicle is registered).
2). Contact original selling dealer (in ATL).
3). Retain legal counsel.

I am beyond mad. I am likely through with BMW at this point. Cannot believe they are being this unreasonable. I am on my fourth car in five years. My second new M. I am on the phone with BMWNA now.

Looks like I wont be driving a F10 M5 in 2012 afterall...

Check this for accuracy, but it's a start....
Ohio Lemon Law Consumer Guide

Here's another that includes the langauge of the state statute:
Ohio Lemon Law Information and Free Legal Services in OH

This looks like the official OH state AG publication:
Lemon Law Brochure

Been where you are and it sucks. Go get 'em.
