X6M wind deflector

Hey Guys,

Not sure how many folks have been having problems with their deflectors, but this seems to be affecting all X6s. So at speeds in excess of 125 kmh, the deflector starts bobbing up and down - this produces a really awful sound to put it mildly. Anyways, Germany will be shipping out a modified spring set up to keep the defector deployed fully at these speeds. Will post part numbers when they have arrived arriving in May/June.

Cheers,

Hi Guys

An update for all the X6 - regular or M owners, herewith the dealer update. Cause of wind deflector shudder at speeds > 120km due to preload force of deflector spring being too low. This only affects 403 glass sunroof. Fix: remove wind deflector as per repair instructions 54 12 497, and replace left and right deflector levers with the wind deflector service kit (BMW PN: 54 12 7 284 480). Parts available from 05/2010. Here is a photo of the new levers.
