JFC Neil. Had no idea you were going thru all this. I think an F10 M5 may be in your future.

dealeer made the call yesterday for they're rep to come down , i told em i want out've this car as a good loyal customer to bmw and the dealer they kind've agree ! so well see ! im gonna keep it till they call me in next week for the rep to look it over cause im jus sick of loaners ! ive paid approx $2500 in the last 2 mo's to drive loaners lmao

i love bmw , my 10th brand new one in like 13 yrs give or take , so im not going anywherre but believe me , and i made this very clear that if this isnt resolved in a clean and timely fashion , i'll put that truck as sexy and pretty as she is rt thru the front window of that dealership ! then i'll sit w nicole and write up an order for an m5

keep you posted !

Hi Neil any updates on what's going on with the x5m?
First day I took delivery of the 2010 x5m I drove it in M mode and started smelling the burnt metallic smell as well.
I took off the pendulum cover and no oil around the clamps. So I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it was just because it has been sitting at the dealership for a while.

Got home from work and noticed a strange burning smell! Popped the hood and engine cover and smoke was rising from the turbo area...thought the engine was going to catch!!! Only have 19,500 miles! Anyone know a good dealership in Houston?

OK found the reason for the smoke coming from under the engine bay. Look's like plastic enbrittalment and probably in-proper installation of a weather strip after having the car in for some recall work caused the gasket to fall on top of the exhaust cover.........

Luckily nothing worse!!

Neil. I had a major electrical issue on my 2011 and BMW was really good at getting me a new X5. If they opened up a PUMA case on your car and the issues were still not resolved, I am sure you will be made right. Sucks that you had to deal with this but for me, I drove a X5 for 6 months and then was given a new 2012 which I guess I can't complain. Good Luck

I've been told by my dealer that all the new BMW's have cheap plastics at the engine/hood interse ction. They melt, fall apart, smell like shit.
