Not if I read the warranty terms. And there are better ways to express oneself on a public forum than vulgarities.

that wasn't quite the right way to try to get any assistance or sympathy. Especially from a vast majority of people who really like BMW's. Just a thought. Although, I would be frustrated too.

2 x front rotors lets say $100 a piece(if they were replaced)
1 set brake pads $100
1 hour labor.

2 x belts $60
1 hour labor

Feel free to chime in guys that have done the rheostat.
part?
labor?

Recoding/programming - $150?
Consumables $10

If you voiced your displeasure like this at the dealer, then it can be guaranteed that you will never receive any discount on your bill.

Would you please respect the other members of this site by not using vulgar language? Some of us would appreciate that very much.

Thanks for your kindness

CPO ain't original Warranty or, orginal Maintenance.
It's a safety net for engine/trans and major stuff.
Sorry you don't like the X or, feel its quality is inadequate...

That watch on your wrist probably looks better hanging out
the window of a Benz or Lexus.

patek philippe,
You have to realize what happens to you does not happen to all of X5s. Some X5 go bad as early as 30K, but it doesnt mean that all issues should and will occur at 30K. It also depends on how you use your car. profanity is totally uncalled for and not necessary. have you owned a benz? have you been to MB forums? You might be surprise to know the issues that they are having as well. I mean, i believe good and bad happens to all cars having an AMG is no difference.

Curious... if you only have 32K isn't the car still under factory maintance program ??? How old is the X5?????
