the sound is still gone for me, not a peep so far

well now so is the car, bmw took back my 2010 X5 M today. i had it over the weekend while they looked into what could be done for the problems and the transmission failed for the 5th time.

:thumbdown:wavey:

That sucks, good luck with this!

Sorry to hear that but hopefully a new 2011 is in the works..

thanks guys, i just ordered a 2011 X5 M :thumbup:

congrats and sorry about your ordeal. I am about to get an X5M myself this week....I am glad to know that BMW will stand behind this!

I am glad you did not go to the dark side, I probably would have.
Specs of the new car please, and please take off the clear corners off for the next one.

BMW really did stand behind their car :thumbup: I have been very impressed with BMW and my dealership.
it was a very big factor in my decision to buy a new X5M. I knew the whole time i had the "lucky" one and it wasnt a fair or good representation of a bmw product. I was just wondering if bmw was the company i believed them to be and they are 100%

I love bmw and i will always own one. Even though the 10' was messed up it rocked and it was a pure blast to drive. it looks amazing too, posrche has nothing on the stlye of the x5m. anyway Specs

side note/ thread topic

i still currently have the 2010 M and there is no whine at all, i think they did fix that problem. ill get the part #'s and what was exactly done for you guys to try out.....


:driver:


* a special thanks to Mark :thumbup: Thank you

Sounds like a nice spec. If you did not have it before be cautious of the piano black trim. I have it and I am about as anal as can be and I can't keep it fom getting slight scratches and swirl marks. Plus it shows any and every little smudge..

I agree BMW does stand behind ther products in the end. glad everythign worked out for you and hope your next one is perfect.

My fix as welll seems to be holding no whine sound at all at about 400 miles since the fix...

so the medicine for the whine noise is the power steering pump?
