Still waiting...But hopeful
Day 38 without my X5. I'm starting to forget that I actually owned it, feeling only a vague sense of familiarity whenever I see a space grey X5 on the highway. In any event, there have been a lot of helpful people at BMW, all asserting that they are doing their best and providing some details on the status. Yet I am still without my car.
The latest expectation is that a new instrument cluster will be shipped from Mexico to my dealer (via Spartanburg and NJ) to arrive this Friday. If that happens, I could possibly have my vehicle by Saturday or Monday. We'll see...

From what I can discern "Vatkins" is a screen name for one or, several
BMW NA board readers. From following their "help" threads, it is the usual head patting and "we have directed your complaint...blah, blah, blah." I don't think "Vatkins" is MrFixIt, or a real problem solver, imo. To the OP...damn, that's a long time. Funny how everyone was thinking your replacement gauge panel was coming from a high tech skunkworks in the Bavarian Forest; it's really coming from a vendor in Mexico. Hope you get your ride back in good shape. BR,mD

Good news!
Well, after 40 days out of service, our X5 was delivered to our home today. As promised by the dealer, it looks like it did when we picked it up new in February...very nice!
Now the test will come. Hopefully the electrical problem that caused 2 instrument clusters to fail has been resolved and we can get back to enjoying the car. I will keep you posted. Thanks for all the support during the last 6 weeks!
