mine too

I have noticed the rain sensor goofiness on my 2010 X5 diesel. My 2009 M3's sensor works exactly as expected (i.e., the same as the sensor in every BMW I've owned). The M3 is assembled in Germany...

wrong

He doesn't know what he's talking about. I don't know how quickly they switch back and forth, but keep in mind that a large percentage of the X5s exported from the US are diesel models. The factory...

not in Texas

I just picked up my 2010 X5 35d today. In Texas the rebate is applied as a credit against the selling price so you only pay tax on the smaller amount.

agreed

I think you're exactly right. The primary reason it's hard to get a direct answer from your dealer is because they can't get a straight answer from BMW. The people who do know the answers won't...

Yes indeed

That's exactly what the feature is for ;)

I haven't done it on my M3 but the process looks pretty simple.

I do read posts on Xoutpost.com. I think you are agreeing with me but I can't tell for sure. My premise is different from that of genemish; I feel BMW owners for the most part DO care about the...

I can't agree

I think BMW owners enjoy the performance and handling and for the most part have chosen to tolerate BMW's deficiencies in electronics rather than just not caring about the issue. Plenty of former...

I have the new nav in my 2009 M3. I'd say it's on par with most competitors in terms of speed, hard drive storage, etc. but I don't think the user interface is as good as the Lexus system. It is...

Still waiting

If anyone finds out the new finance rates please post them! I will likely take delivery of my X5 later this week yet I'm still in limbo waiting for BMW to release their new rates.

This really emphasizes what has long been BMW's weakest point--electronics. BMW is perpetually behind the curve. They should be ashamed to have continued selling such an inferior nav system (camera...

I need to know!

That is exactly what I need to know as well. My X5 should arrive by late next week but I have no way to know how I will finance it until BMW reveals their November finance rates. I don't think they...

interesting

It's interesting that they have conflicting information on the website, and just plain sad that if you call them for clarification the representatives won't know the answer and won't try to find it.

I'm not so sure

I'm not so sure the credit has changed. I researched it a few days ago, and to summarize a complicated formula, the credit is determined by just how economical the vehicle is. Unless the 2010 has a...

There are at least two things that would save you. First, turning off the engine by holding down the start button, but of course some people might not know you have to hold down the button. I have...

I agree

This jives with my own understanding of the situation. I have a 2009 M3 with the new navigation computer and screen, and I basically can't imagine the new system being offered with two different...

BMW has not yet started production of 2010 X5s--a week ago they were still making 2009 models--so nobody will be able to show you the pic you asked for. BUT, the new iDrive is currently available in...

Gray leather?

Does anyone think there's a chance of getting gray Nevada leather on an ordered 2010 X5 35d? I understand there are sometimes Priority One options that typically could not be otherwise ordered....

From what I can tell, most or all of the dealers believe they can't order any more. In other words, they cannot submit a Priority One order on an allocation they don't have, or put another way, can't...

Advice needed

If an allocation can be found, what price do you guys feel is reasonable? I called a dealer in La. who thinks he can get an allocation but offered only the Eco Credit, i.e., he wants full MSRP. I...

I completely agree

I am trying to buy my fifth new BMW since 2001, but BMW NA is doing its best to drive away loyal customers such as myself. They are still promoting this credit on their website as of today, yet of...

I would if I could

I suppose my basic attitude is that BMW is making me work too hard to spend $65,000 with them. I am working and don't have time to call dozens of dealers around the country, nor should I have to. ...

Add me to the list

I'm pretty steamed at BMW NA right now. I would love to order a 2010 X5 diesel but I'm basically getting the stiff arm at BMW of Austin. I had a time set to meet yesterday and finalize my order,...
