iDrive speed
Thanx xdrive 50 i.
I didn't time it but once i've taken kids audio bk cd out of the drive, but dvd nav. disc still in, the system use acceptance comes on sooner, once i push to accept the rearview cam comes on. Wish there is an page on the settings menu to tell idrive to set which accessory system has 1st prioirity, 2nd priority, etc. Or simply an off switch on the nav system, because we don't always need it when we're travelling on familiar roads. BMW should make the idrive system upgradable as part of maintenace service. Last edited by archwerks; 12-17-2008 at 11:40 AM.. Reason: forgot to quote |

Poor build quality
Several issues have occured indicating sloppy build quality control. To date the car has spent as much time at dealer in for repair as on the road.
1. Scape on dash trim panel noted on delivery (looks like it was banged by something during install - how'd this get past QC?), requested replacement 3 times - no action to date. 2. At 1 week old while driving, service engine fault -significanlty reduced power. Dealer found loose hose and clamp in intake system - simple fix but at dealer for 2 days to diagnose and repair. 3. At 2 weeks while driving engine died - wouldn't restart - towed to dealer. After 10 days of dealer trial and error diagnostic guided by BMW tech support and waiting on sequential replacement parts to arrive - needed new computer shipped from Germany. Service tech found loose main ground which likely shorted computer. As result we have zero confidence in reliability of car - what else is lurking - not sure we'll keep it. |

Deda, I have a similar issue on my Mazda. . squeaking when rotating steering wheel at low speed. The steering wheel column needs greasing more often than I thought. But, huh, Mazda costs three times less than the X6.
