The good thing is that it will be done under warranty and you'll be back on the road. I would not compare BMW to any of the Japanese manufacturers. I'm a big Toyota fan and love their products, but no Japanese manufacturer makes a car or truck that handles like a BMW

Go ahead and vent... we are here to listen.
Keep in mind that all cars are built with parts that are mass produced. There are times when items make it thru the process and get installed but do not work properly. I am not sure what the exact problem was with your steering wheel but... I am sure your dealer will replace everything with genuine parts and it will be just like new.

Add mine to the list of a new steering column replacement. Miles: 128
Also add: 1. Check engine light. Bad oxygen sensor had to be replaced. (On at 35 miles.) 2. Sirius radio installation gone awry. They cannot get the software on the vehicle to recognize the radio...despite having new "software shipped directly from BMW." Total time in my hands: 3 days. Total time in dealer's hands (post-sale): 5 days. This is nothing short of unreal. It really makes me wonder how often I'm going to have to put up with these things. I expect FAR better than this from a 70K vehicle. Joel |

Glad I got my car early..... Everything works good.
They just loaded in the new software and I like the changes.
