Hi all,

Im new here, with good reason I bought my first BMW on saturday. Decided to registair here shortly after hoping to use this as a refrence site and read about cool X5 stuff.

I bought a 3litre Sport 2001 X5 petrol, all has been well for 6 days except for the service indicator changing from 4 green lights to 1 green light and back again a few times and The incrdible petrol consumption !!!!

However I am now very unhappy, driving back from work I had the air con on and there was a loud bang and then there was a constant whurring niose when the air con or heating was on. I figure a motor or something has blown.

Anyone with experience of this or words of help to stop a new BMW owner taking a baseball bat to a car he has owned for 6 days !
