New Owner

Mitchyy · 11-05-2015, 12:08 PM

Hello everyone! My name is Mitch and I'm excited to own my first BMW (E70 X5M).

I brought my car to the dealer today because from what I thought there was a small drip of some sort from the belly pan. S/A took me in wrote me up and told me there is a open bulletin on my car as well. Bulletin was for plugs, injectors, belts, etc. I said no problem to get it done, but now my question is, should i be worried about anything else? Should I have them check anything specific? I want to make sure there are 0 issues with the car before it leaves the dealer.

I will also have them check on the drip which i think is nothing.

Any suggestions would help!

Thanks!

Those are the pretty common ones that seem to make a huge difference for many. Those recalls are worth their weight in gold

There's been lots of discussion on these topics that you can find with a simple forum search. Good luck!

Yeah, there are lots more non-M owners here, a search for M-specific stuff will yield you more info.

I guess the first question that comes to mind is were you running your AC when you found the leak?
