BMW safety recall

[Daka]

FINALLY, (Saturday) I got the X5 back late this afternoon...it went in on Thursday morning!
So, the parts ARE available, you just need to make some noise.
I would have thought that they would "save" all the info from the computer....time...date...mpg...etc, but it came back erased....
Oh well, now I can put it up for sale....hate to see it go but time to change.

Ive missed this thread all along and very surprised auto manufacturers and dealerships continue to mishandle recalls especially safety related. I read almost the entire Valukas report on GM's recalls this year. It clearly showed a complete disregard for the safety of consumers and drivers. Because of this I have signed up my VIN directly on NHTSA website and receive weekly digest of all recalls. I will also sign now sign up on BMWUSA'S website to cover all angles.

Don't knock the Toyota, I put 200 miles on it and it got 30 mpg city.
I don't understand the paddle shifters on this car however...and I will say this....
If you want TRANSPORTATION and are not a car snob (I am, and so are you...admit it)
this will get you around just fine....and CHEAPLY...of course after 3 years of owning it, you better sell it off before it falls apart....(or not) they did fix my X5, and in the process did erase all the stored memory....

I got my 2nd letter Monday but my seat sensor was already replaced back in March. Interesting how their database is slow to update.

Yeah, but I didn't know this at the time. I just didn't want to buy and immediately have to start repairing things- I wanted them to repair it because it was a safety issue and there was no mention of recall. I'm new to the Bimmerclub and am just learning about all "the other things" that go along with owning one no matter what year it is. So yeah, I could have gotten it and been fine.
