The possible leaking strut should have been the first place to start, right? I have not had mine in the dealer's bay for months now, and couldn't be happier (probably just jinxed myself). The X was purchased because I wanted a BMW, but needed a little more room. I would keep it and get a warranty, because I can't DIY everything. Second, you should try to find somewhere else to take it unless you already had a relationship with that indy, though it doesn't sound that way. Check with other forum members in your area, your local BMWCCA chapter, or even google. Good luck.

I did purchase a warranty from AAA-Car Guard ($3300) a month ago, Air shocks or air springs are excluded because they are wear items. Auto Engineering is a reputable shop and has a former BMW Dealer tech working there. The service advisor at Wagner BMW told me that they have experienced bad module problems before and that 2 issues were wrong with my vehicle.
