Thank you forum

I purchased a 2012 x5m and through reading your posts I had the injector issue and squeaky seat issue resolved!( this week) I also purchased the velos tune because of your recommendations. I haven't experienced the tune yet but I expect great gains. I want to thank the forum for their opinion and expression of the x5 issues. I had a 2008 x5 4.8 and now the M has a car seat doing 0-60 in 4 sec, where else can you get a sports car and family saloon in one car. I test drove 2014 srt jeep it was sub par. The looks were so so and the speed I was not impressed plus they wanted 70k plus tax in ct it's 7%. I got a 2012 x5m for 60 k and 18 months warrenty left with only 15k for miles

Glad we could be of service! Enjoy your stay and don't be put off of how slow it is here. There are not many of us so threads take a bit to pick up steam.

They have go through steps, they first lubed up the joints (I knew that was going to work). Now they are replacing the seat bracket. I read else where that solved the problem. Haven't got the car back yet so I don't know. As you bring it in they will replace the seat if need be. Progressive fixes, they have to verify to bmw they tried the simple fix first

Cool to see members helping one another out.. The X5M / X6M community is small but definitely a cool group of enthusiasts ..
