7 Hrs Later and the X is sitting at the dealers lot

So the X went kaput on me. Heard some knocking - quick eyeball and nothing on the cluster and temps looking fine. Safely pull over, shut her down and open the hood. Everything looks fine there so I peep under the car. Just as I crouch then, 2 seconds later , it starts gushing with what appears to be coolant . Looked a bit lighter than coolant fluid but the consistency was more closer to water than oil.

I took the ride with the flatbed since the ride had the wheels on them, and did not want to play the blaming game if they came back curbed...


The kicker is I waited 4 hrs 45 minutes for a tow. It's like a bad plumber. I must have had 3-4 * we are delay/traffic/ every excuse under the moon* phone calls.

We shall see, but I'm hoping for the best.....It's only almost 3 months past warranty and still less than 50K ....

Sorry to hear. Hope she gets OK soon.

Hey chef are you located in nyc? There was a X5 that broke down and loaded onto a flatbed on the BQE(massive traffic backup because of it). There were alot of accidents on the road today ....

Yeap but not me. I was on the belt but I was nowhere going to bring it to the shoddy BMW dealerships closer to me - Life Quality which was 2 miles away from where I broke down .

I had the car towed to Westchester. I'm verry tired. Between waiting for the tow and just standing in the sun for almost 5 hrs ;-), couple of Laphroaig is needed tonight ;-)
