As was said to me by a lawyer I used, as best I remember it; You have to be very careful not to mention in public any discussions between you and your lawyer. If you do, the opposing lawyer may be able to open up some or all of your confidential conversations with your lawyer.

I've had nothing but poor experiences with bmw SA over the last 6 years. They're big and they're the only game in town and they tend not to give a sh*t. I truly hope you fare better.
The problems I've had with my G05 and BMWs lack of high quality service has made me completely numb to the marque. After owning multiple BMWs over the years I'm done with them. Just view it as an appliance now and will be trading it. Do I care any more about taking it into car washes? I do not. |

Man, your nightmares makes me more confused between G05 X5 and F97 X3M.
I have been lucky with BMW. Out of 7, only 1 gave me an issue.

This is only my second BMW, the first one was great, this one has been a nightmare but I still love the beast. I'd get an X3M Comp, or at least consider one once iDrive 7 comes to it. Part of me also wants an M850i GC but the wife hates and yes I mean she HATES sedans/coupes so that isn't a fight I'll win, plus for $125k or more if I go Twilight Purple (M850i GC) there are other better options out there like the M5 Comp. I appreciate the show of support. I want to see what's going to happen with the car

I owned a handful of M cars and many more non Ms. I’m currently in an F80 M3 that is an extraordinary robust and reliable car. From my experience M cars look like BMWs but are built to total different standards. I trust an M car 100% to be a quality vehicle, non M cars the last decade? Not so much. If you can make do with the X3M’s size, get it.

here's the update from BMW SA. They have no idea what's causing the chassis malfunction, but apparently, my KAFAS is also screwed up. see below

Progress it seems... what's your read of the dealership and how they're treating your situation?

the SM seems pretty up front so far, doesn't appear to be hiding anything. I asked him how the antenna can fail 2 times if properly installed and he wasn't sure. He doesn't seem to know much other than what the techs tell him which is fine. I asked what BMW thinks about the gas pedals, apparently in the very first one ever (I doubt it) to have this occur. They didn't say much else

Had a horse once that tried to throw me, every other time I rode him. Actually not every other time, but randomly, inconsistently consistently. Wasn't particularly mean, but skittish, and scared of - everything. People, other horses, the weather. Leaves. Bugs. Traded him for a good quarter horse.

Well, at least they are finding the issues. I believe your initial repair or diagnosis was incorrect or at least, incomplete. There are too many cascading failures to not be able to find a primary source. I believe it could be a group of failed components that are not playing well together. In my mind I always wonder if you could be having intermittent issues that is causing random failures but BMW can’t track it down because it’s so random. It’s like trying to hit a moving target. I think your vehicle could be fixed permanently but it needs a competent service center with great work ethics to put the vehicle back together correctly.

Spoke with the SM today (I'll post his email when he sends it).
Things wrong/getting replaced: Antenna ECU Gas pedal Antenna (was not sealed properly at the last dealership per their tech, no surprise here) PCM (power control module) IRAP case is open for programming currently. They think the PCM is what's causing a huge list of faults but I'm very skeptical since those don't just randomly fail...

If anyone from BMWNA or BMWAG reads this forum, I hope they have a very red face. Also, the GM at the SC plant should be talking to the head of QC. Very sad and disappointing story.
