Well, I've finally received a call from the dealer. He said that both fuel tank vent valves have been replaced, but they still aren't 100% satisfied that the fix isn't 100%. They've had it hooked up to the smoke machine for a few days now and are still finding very small leaks, so they wanted to replace the hoses from the vent valves back to the engine. Of course, those parts are in Germany, so a few more days.

That being said, I am getting more comfortable driving the '15 Sdrive 35i. Its not a bad loaner, but one thing I realized today.. The average fuel economy is only 2-4mpg better than the X5///M. That surprised me. I really expected it to be up around 20mpg for our city driving life, but its only reporting 16.3mpg... Kind of strange.
