Meanwhile my current lease expires this week. The programming fix really jacked up my timing. I was supposed to have the car 3 weeks prior to my lease expiration. Any advice? |

Update on cancelled X5
Last month I cancelled my 38-week build X5 because of four pre-delivery recalls at the Oxnard VDC since mid-September. I was curious today to see what happened to the X5. It’s still at Oxnard, not yet fixed. I had ordered the X5 on July 7 — five months ago.
I bought a 2019 Mercedes. No problems. Very pleased. I don’t buy into the talk of not buying into first year production of a new model. In today’s competitive environment, years of research, development and testing from a leading manufacturer should deliver a near problem-free vehicle in the first year. The X5 was to be my first BMW. In my view, BMW has failed. |

That said, my wife and I rented the brand new Mercedes E-class for 5 weeks in Europe. It is a brilliant car. They make a nice product. Best of luck. |

In fact, we even see this with airplanes - that cost a lot more than a car and are tested and certified way beyond what a car goes through. Look at the problems with the 787 and now the new 737 Max, or do some research on what the A320 went through. So no, there is so much in these new cars, you will not get a near problem free vehicle -and if you ended up in a MB SUV, then go check out what it went through in the first year - scary stuff.
