xmanpro wroteFor what it's worth, I just brought my F96 in for this today and my SA said there was an SIB "released today"… (yeah right) for this issue.I'll mention it to them. Hopefully they'll help other folks out who have this same issue.
xmanpro wroteOnce I get my car back I'll post the paperwork.This is great info thank you. Could you please post the bulletin/work order if possible.
GXTCHA wrotethat sucks!!!!Once I get my car back I'll post the paperwork.
Unfortunately, after they did the work, the valet scratched the entire right side of the rear quarter of the car. No lie: fender flare, quarter panel, door, rim… a total mess. They are handling it, and I really like my dealer, but this was a tough one.

Busa Dave wroteWho would define the diminished value its self? I mean where does the figure actually come from? I'd hate to ask a dealer to do so and they give me their thoughts.Make sure you get a "Diminished Value" adjustment. Your resale just went down the toilet.
-cj- wroteI read a thread talking about that, it's coming from the folding seats hinges. Some used electric tape, some used liquid rubber.Does this only impact x6m? I don't have the noise while making slow turns, but I get some nasty clunking noise on the rear passenger wheel well if I hit a pot hole while accelerating. These aren't even massive potholes.. I would expect the x5m to eat them up without issue. Just wondering if it could be related to this end link shim…
HZX540e wroteIts pretty much a super thin hardened steel washer.Can someone post a picture of the shims, just for reference please.
Xccelerate wroteSounds like BS to me.So upon further investigation it seems that BMW tech are well aware of this issue. The only resolution at this point is to replace the end links which only last for so long. Supposedly they're doing that to mine as well, but there is no official fix to it and they are all aware of it.
Bummer but I guess these things do tend to happen.
QF8 wroteCould be but until there's a fix I guess all we can do is sell our SAVs lolSounds like BS to me.
Xccelerate wroteThere is a fix.. Get the shims installed.Could be but until there's a fix I guess all we can do is sell our SAVs lol
QF8 wroteAnd is there a PN or location to acquire said shims lad.There is a fix.. Get the shims installed.
Xccelerate wroteBMW have issued a fix notice for noise related to the rear sway bar.And is there a PN or location to acquire said shims lad.
