Hi All,
I have a 2012 X5 35i with the M sport package (my wife's car), 8,000 miles on it, and the car has been making horrible noises when the steering wheel is turned either right or left and the car is advanced forward or backwards

.
I was blown off by my local BMW dealership, of course, and had to take it to my indy BMW service center that helps me with my E46 M3 to get it properly diagnosed. They thought it was OBVIOUSLY either the front diff or front drive axle. It's back a the BMW stealership again. We'll see what they say this time........
I wonder if anyone else has had a transmission or diff go bad on their 2012 X5? From what I have gathered the transmission is a new item this year?
More to follow........
Matt
