My X5
I just bought my first car, 2000 4.4l X5 and had it shipped to Georgia, that where i live. For first 2-3 days car was driving like a beast, but...After that in morning I noticed that it had some problems starting, had to put in N to start. then i noticed the rain was coming in from drivers side, propobly from sunroof. after driving for few hours i got messige 'trans. failsafe prog.' besides that when car is off for a while left side goes down and throws up 'self level ...' and at all times ABS is on, DSC light is on (don't know if that means that it's on) and Service Engine Soon light is on as well. Alot of problems a start. plus because this is my first car i don't know that much about cars. I dropped it in BMW store yesterday and have to pick it up today. Hope I'ts not transmission... what you guys think? |

I think you better have gotten a warranty.

I'm sure you really wanted an X5 but you got the 1st year of the model and the most problematic engine of the two. And I'm sure your mileage is pretty high. For a 1st car an older X5 needs to be have taken care of by the previous owner for it to really be a sound choice in purchasing. Hopefully you can get it fixed and don't have any major problems.

I don't know if it's just me but the first thing I thought was did you see and test drive the car in person? If not, did you get a CARFAX from where you bought it from? To have that many things happen after buying it, would concern me.

Sounds like someone simply wiped the codes before shipping it to you. You can search for "self leveling suspension" and you'll get a ton of posts related to it. Other than that, you'll need to get codes pulled from a GT1 and I'm sure someone on the board can shed some light on them. Since you dropped it off at a BMW dealership, you should ask them for the paperwork from the GT1

Thanks,
Well the battery is nearly dead, had to jump start it the other day. I'll be fixing that soon. Other then that i picked it up today and they told me some sad news; they told me that tranny has some problems, plus they told me that 3 sensors (one i remembered was Catalyc sensor) have to replaced, also that my engine is acting weird and that my board computer has some issues... I don't even know what to start with. I think starting with some electric parts and then going to tranny. because it's 1000$ just to find out what parts are broken. I guess I'll follow little by little. thanks guys for your help. and bwt i don't know what GT1 means. EDIT: In the Reverse it drives pretty good |

Sorry to hear it. I think your wallet is going to be in pain for a while.
