an FYI for high mileage E70's....
After receiving the X back yesterday afternoon, a brief home drive, she was parked awaiting more driving in the morning. Well...I went to drive the X this morning to find the brake pedal very low. OK, I knew I needed brakes in about 10K, so I thought this was normal. While on the highway, I noticed the X was weaving in the lane. Not me, the X was weaving. To the point where I really needed to focus on the direction of the X going forward. As I approached 15 minutes of driving, my dashboard and iDrive screen lit up like a Christmas tree (or Channukah bush for my Jewish peeps out there.) So, what I was feeling is basically what was displayed on the screen. ABS, DSC, and AWD. So, roadside assistance will be called for the second time in two weeks to have it flatbed-ed back to the dealership (the first time the compressor was so bad it was flying little shavings of metal in the engine compartment.)

Its unfortunate. I really do love the X, and all things that come with it, but the trials and tribulations of recent are starting to concern me. I know that with the good comes with the bad, and that maintenance and repairs is a normal occurrence of owning an auto, especially one as advanced as ours. I just wish they would spread themselves (repairs) out a little bit more...of'course having a dealership that works with me, rather than just get me for the billing would be nice as well...
His mouth dropped, and in a split second asked me to open the hood (as if those parts were from another car!) Nice big-ole' gap between the engine and the radiator....and the ability to see right down to the ground. OH, again when I got home, I was researching another mod in the front end. So I get under the car, and the lower cover is missing 3 screws (they only fastened two screws on the outer edge, and when I tap on the cover, there's something rattling around underneath (or over ) the lower cover....

I'm not going to make any excuses for BMW, but I am having problems understadning how your X is showning signs of "Serious Problemss" (plural)
You AC compressor grenaded (and you were ill advised to use a BMW dealer unless you had a warranty).... poor repairs followed, and now the dumba$$ who butchered the AC job likely screwed up something in the wiring harness. ABS modulator connector, wheel speed sensor, etc. (FYI, low pads will NOT result in low pedal....) Mark my words, they will lie to you about the root cause of this issue so they can bill you for more work. (I'm a believer in extended warranties, unless you are modding the drivetrain....they've always paid out for me.) GL A PS You may want to have a discussion with the service Manager about WHO will be allowed to work on the car. If they have a certified master technician, I'd write ON THE WORK ORDER, that "Approval on granted for Mr. Master Tech to perform all work on this vehicle". In writing, not verbal. They just shine you on with whatever you need to hear, then give it back to the same moron and tell him to 'fix it and you are doing it for free'... how motivated will he be this time? |

K/B,
Sorry to read...I just went down into the garage and patted and hugged my old '01, knock on freakin wood. There is an easy solution, though expensive: I recall you drooling, and in near ecstacy, after driving L's Monster X6, so go spend some dough. What's 12 mpg to you, anyway... GL, Ol'UncleMotor, your fave middle aged goy
