Saturday night, driving with wife and 1 year old, "Coolant level low" yellow indicator comes on.... just 2 minutes after that, RED ALERT "Car is overheating". the x5 automatically turns off the heater and also starts to shut down, as in loss of power. I G-L-I-D-E in to a gas station, got a quart of coolant,, all leaked out before I could get on the high way... make a long story short, finally got the X to my house, sunday, called BMW assist, towed to the stealership, and today, they said and I quote:
"Bad news, there is a rock that went through the lower grill, broke it and damaged the radiator... Not covered, the cost to replace is approx $1,300..." WTF???
Not sure what to do at this time...Need advice quick, as I swear that a rock did not hit me, as my daughter was asleep and the radio was off..
Please advise, this is a CPO up until 12-13. Oh, also I just got an oil change last week..
ak.
thanks.
