The first time they replaced the telematics control unit
And the special SOS battery that it connects to as well, which took 30 days to source!
Then 2 days after getting it back, supposedly repaired, the issue reappears
And the car is continuously calling the bmw emergency service
They all know me on a first name basis now
Problem is when it’s calling the emergency call
Nav doesn’t work, no regular phone calls, nothing appears on I drive screen except the emergency call.
Went to the dealer today and requested a buyback
They said they will get in touch with bmw NA and figure out how to do it
But they did say they would get me out of this car, one way or the other
Got a X3 M40i as a loaner, nice car, great sounding (fake) exhaust
But looks much cheaper on the inside than the X5
I’m assuming this leaking food was addressed on the 2020s
Might just get the same exist car, but a 2020 build
