Stop Sale?
My dealer just told me they have a stop sale on the new X5 due to a negative battery cable issue.
Anyone else heard this?

How do you have a stop sale directive on a vehicle that's technically not available for sale right now unless it's going to take them more than a month and a half to fix whatever the alleged issue seems to be. I just asked my dealer and will let you know what he says.

They will be fixed at the port before they are shipped to stores.

Stands for 'Handler-Erst-Ausstattung', which are the first production cars that are sent to the dealers for presentation purposes.

Yesterday I was told by a dealer that the stop sale still in effect. Anyone have any additional information about the issue? Is it only about the negative battery cable issue?

Of note, there is a stop sale on some of the V8s that prevents the engine from even being started (well you can start it, but BMW does not want you to).

I was just told by my dealer that there is a STOP SALE on my
2019 X5 xDrive40i. I thought only the 50i was involved. Does anyone have more info on why the 40i is now affected. My X5 was delivered to the dealer last Saturday. |

What week was it built? Probably is the battery cable issue that others have mentioned. I haven't heard of any other reasons for a stop sale.

There are at least three (3) stop sale reasons - and some trucks have all 3
1. Underbody baffles 2. NR63R - check engine oil pan. This must be done before starting the truck - if you find debris in the pan, you do not start the truck. 3. Negative battery cable Seriously, I have toured this factory - it is amazing - but anyone who buys an early production car/truck gets what they get. It is something I would never do.
