After having my car (2012 X5M) since late May I have been to the dealer 8 times. I don't think there is anyway I can go with out the warranty. Most of the problems are minor in nature but problems none the less. (Expensive too, out of pocket would be 20k at least ) If the last 8 months is any indication of future issues I am crazy not to get the warranty. Factory is up in June and the car has 22k for miles on her.
Even with all these issues I love the car, plus she has never left me stranded and I am a nut case about sounds, squeaks and when things do not run right.
The only other car I would consider is the ML63 AMG, it was too expensive at the time at 85k used for a loaded, low miles one VS the 60k I paid for a 12 with 15k miles
The service at BMW is everything you should think it is and more, the M tech guy they has over looked all of the modifications and makes sure my car does not breach the warranty (he deletes any ghost codes before hooking up to the BMW network . I could not be happier with BMW service. I have the Velos tune and had down pipes (never took the car in with the down pipes and just flash the car to stock when I bring her in) They told me they can tell it was modded via the computer but BMW will not notice.
I always drop the SA and the tech $20 each. The gratitude is seen in the care of the car and a small amount of money goes a long way. I can guarantee a large portion of BMW owners over look this and have a smug attitude. Maybe I am generalizing but it just looks like that whenever I am in the waiting area.
My major complaint about service:
I don't know about other dealerships but this one has horrible loaners. Entry level 3 series X1, X3. Cars are trash other then the new NAV interface...BMW makes the best one in my opinion. Who buys these cars at 55k++ when you can get Q50 infiniti that blows the 3 series out of the water for 10k less...Wife has an Infiniti
How do others feel about their car, BMW, ect?
LIST OF TROUBLES
Squeaks
injectors, spark plugs
starter
crank case valve
brakes...they squeaked and dealer gave me new pads all around
rims replaced
center console arm doors replace...(those are 800 each...I could not believe it either.
black piano trim replaced on center console
paddle shifters replace
drivers seat bracket replaced
CEL errors and updates
the battery issue
valve cover seals replaced
GO PATRIOTS!!!!!
