Bye X5 hello X3

Bye X5 hello X3

Hi

I got rid of my 2009 X5 with 100K miles, i am going to miss that car, I ended up getting a X3, but looking at forums, there is not much Activity or questions not answer. Is there any other Forum site that X3 owners are using?

Will Post my Vin when my Vehicle gets delivered. I traded in my car to BMW, I would not sell it to someone without notifying the issues I know I had in the car. BMW Dealer said only issues was the Control Arm needed replacements. But they knew that, cause that was the shop that did 90 percent of my car work.

I would think a 9 year old car is not going on a BMW dealer used car lot. Probably straight to auction.

Why I shouldn't? This is why I put 5 Year up to 150,000 miles warranty. I am no mechanic, I never even change my own Oil.

The Valve Stem was me googling white smoke when Idling, but no one ever told me for sure,

Wouldn't BMW dealer tell me if this was an issue on my car when they looked at it.

Are you trying to say I ripped someone off?

Not at all!!


Im saying a BMW dealer will toss it on their lot, or onto a non-branded lot the dealer owns, and try and flip it quick. They wont mention ANYTHING to a buyer. Heck, user car managers make it a point to be as ignorant as possible.




No big deal- post a vin, maybe someone googles the vin prior to purchasing.


Or not.


You googled the vin on that X3, right?
