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...

What I'm told is that the part comes from a German supplier (who I presume also supplies Spartanburg). But (and maybe this is your point), with no disrespect to anyone waiting for their build, if an...

Update
I've had an X3 loaner from the dealer since I brought the X5 in on 8/25. It's not bad, but it's no X5. I called today, 10 days since I brought it in. I was told that the part (i.e., instrument...

So I brought the X5 to the dealer. After a quick diagnosis, they called to tell me that I need a new instrument cluster. Oh, and it's backordered and won't be in for "about" 10 days. So no X5 for a...
