My local BMW inspected and replaced whole power steering gear, not just rings. They replaced with 32-10-6-799-623 (AS), 4 gasket rings, thermostat, coolant, power steering fluid, hydraulic fluid and coil spring. What about yours?

Either the ring was replaced on your X6 or it was confirmed that the part in your car was okay, hence the delay in your vehicle getting shipped to dealer. Have you received a recall letter? I bet the answer is no!

Hey Giant,
Just wondering when did your car went into production? That fast? Lucky! I placed my order back on June 20 then I waited for three weeks to get my production number and from there waited like August 1 when they finally start building my car. I call today and they said it's doing the interior, like seats, etc.. how much longer with your experience you think I will get my car? I hope before August ends!

What a pain! First off, my X6 is in the shop. But then I remembered, my 1-series has this as well. To be honest, I don't use it. But based on playing with it tonight, I might try. The key is you need the back button (oh and a working snap in adapter - both of mine have been failing when it is hot out). Next I had to get a camera out - because well, if I take the iphone out to take pictures, it stops working. Then I had to find music that you wouldn't make fun of (I still left some in there to let you give me a hard time). So here you go.

Hey enjoi I ordered my car on july 5th I think, it went into production on July 31st a few days early than what my dealer said. It said it will be complete by august 10th but it went really quick and jumped to august 7th, today I called BMW and the operator told me the car left the factory already ahead of schedule. Your car might of left the factory also already, because the assembly stage is pretty much the last one. Also I had the production number right away because my dealer already had the production week for the car.

Hey Giant,
What does it says when you log in to track your bmw? What production stage is it? I hate how it's soo incorrect that it just says production begins! I hope man! I want me car so bad! I've been wanting it for like a year and finally got it! thanks!

Best way to track it is to speak to a BMW operator, the online tracking is way behind and the phone tracker is behind a bit also. Mine still has in production on the website, on the phone tracking it says the car is being assembled. The operator told me that the car is not in the factory anymore.

Thanks for the effort! Not sure what you mean by "needing the back button." your "Back" on the iDrive doesn't work? Does an Ipod fit with the snap in adaptor? or is it only for the iPhone? Anyone know of aftermarket options?

Well I guess I don't use the back button very often - I pull the controller to the left. That doesn't work in this interface.

Unfortunately the snap in adapter is designed to hold the iPhone only.

Still waiting for a call from my dealer, not in a big rush but getting anxious. Hopefully tomorrow.
