Cool X6 Engine Malfunction - SES Light and Recall

Hi,

I have a 2011 BMW X6 35i. The vehicle has been experiencing numerous issues since the last four months.

All-Wheel Drive Malfunction: BMW indicated that All-Wheel Drive system failed to activate due to a faulty sensor and low voltage from battery.

Engine Malfunction (Yellow and Red light)
I have taken the vehicle four times to the BMW Service Department. They have performed numerous repairs, such as: Replacing Timing Chain Belt, Cylinder Replacement, Cracked Spark Plugs and a Service for a recent recall that may have caused the vehicle to stall. Still, the Service Department has not been able to fix the problem.

I have escalated with BMW North-America Consumer Relation but no resolution. BMW is not willing to take the vehicle back because is from 2011, but only 35K miles driven. They are not willing to extend the factory warranty on the car either.

Have any of you experience similar issues with the X6? Any suggestions as next step?

Thanks!

Just sold my 09 X6 50i two months ago. What a relief. Turbos, gaskets, injectors, AC, jerky tranny, oil consumption, fuel pumps. My friend that works for bmw Canada told me to get rid of the car as they start getting x6's with carbon deposits that's not covered by warranty.
Don't get me wrong - it was a perfect car whet it was running but it was at dealer ship pretty often

I would sort of have to agree with what he's saying. Although my car went in for minor repairs. The carbon build up for the 5.0L costs $6000 and that's what I was quoted luckily I got it done under my CPO warranty which expires next year.

I am kinda scared of the cost of repairs on this car. I only have 61000KM on a 2009.

Thinking about selling this car as well.
