Took my 212 X5 to the dealer with a list and at the end of the day was told I was not part of the recall. I was told the X5 was inspected but made differently than those in the recall.

Mine was in for an oil change last week and said my front drive-shaft/u-joint needed to be replaced part # 26207556020 for $1220+2Hrs labor...I declined and I'm buying part this week. I have an 08 4.8...SA said mine isn't covered in recall.

$976 on line:
DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY FRONT. L=705MM. 4-WHEEL drive SHAFT/INSERT nut for BMW X Series X6 (2006 - 2012). #26207556020

Did you counter with "Ill give you 1000 and one hour"?

Save your receipts...recall may expand, you never know.

blue dragon will become famous soon enough
Why pay $976 when you can pay $795. These guys are the cheapest of all the dealerships I have found
