Well I made the mistake of dealing with the scumbags at Momentum BMW. I purchaed a 2005 X5 4.8is that they were advertising online and received it with a bad transmission and a pano roof that's broken. I took it to a local BMW dealer immediately only to learn it needs about $10,000 in repairs!!! I contacted Momentum BMW of Houston and they told me it was sold AS-IS, but of course this is after they flat out lied to me over and over about the cosmetic and mechanical condition of the vehicle. I cannot believe a BMW dealership would misrepresent a vehicle and rip me off the way they did. I'm stuck with this piece of crap now and don't know what to do next. The money aspect bothers me, but what's really burning me up how they could lie to me over and over. I spoke to their salespeople and service manager several times leading up to the purchase and was assured time and time again that it was a beautiful X5 in perfect condition. The evening I received it I started and let it run for a little bit since it had just made a trip from Texas to New Jersey. The very moment I accelerated the "Trans Failsafe" code came up on the dash. I contacted BMW of North America and the Better Business Bureau and made formal complaints. I would expect this from a shotty used car lot, but not from a BMW dealership. So disappointed in the dealership and the product. A bad transmission at 50k???
