What problems and how many problems were you having for them to take it back as a lemon. Just wondering because my X5 has been one problem after another since i purchased it. PM me some info if you can please

It's been a long hard fight but after more than 30 dealer visits and nearly 3 months off the road I managed to negotiate a replacement car at 'no additional cost' to myself. I succesfully made the case that the car was dangerous (air suspension issues plus engine DME) and that the liability risk to them was far greater than the cost of replacement. It's the second BMW in the past three years that I've managed to get replaced, so they call me 'Mr Pedantic'.. :p

If you fancy a read, the whole episode is chronicled here ..

Love the new ride. I really like the color. I love the front end on your 4.8. The headlights, bumper, and the driving lights flow very well with the 4.8 body.

I have to agree with you on the sport seats. They hold you firmly in place. I think it also gives it that sporty feeling just by sitting in it.

Congrats Steved!!!!! looks great!!! now get the resonator removed. I am actually heading to my dealer in 30 mins. it looks like I might be getting a new 4.8is under lemon law. it seems something went wrong when they painted the X. All doors on the inside where the sheetmetal and welds meet by the edges, are bubbling. the clear coat is blistering on the entire inside. my detailer say it wont be long till this progesses to the outside. If they have to repaint the vehicle, the resale value will drop like a rock. They mentioned replacing the vehicle as an option so we will see.

Sweet ride Steve.
Hope you enjoy it more the 2nd time around.
The steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car though.
