Oh goodie! I get to man handle a wild animal on my daily venture to work and back for the next 28 days! After my G05's steering performance today in -10F, I'll be dropping it off at the dealership and taking a loaner until they sort this BS out. Bad enough driving with the steering twitch on dry roads, now with ice and snow covered roads BMW can give me something else to pit/chip up for the next few weeks.

Today was down right terrifying. We had an ice storm in MN and I have a 250 mile drive, with 50+ mph cross winds. Temp was -1, which (likely) triggered th steering issues. With the above conditions and having the fight the car, I was absolutely terrified. If I didn’t “have” to be where I was going, I would have driven straight to the dealer and told them to take it and not give it back until this if fixed. The conditions alone could have killed me, but this added another (unnecessary) layer of danger. This is borderline lawsuit worthy.

Same here. Losing Steering control and like free movement and pushing steering in center in cold weather.
Also have few other issue for my 2019 x5. Blind spot detection working 50% plus sensor warning. This is piece of crap after charging nearly 70k and all this headache. |

I experienced this last week in Colorado. The car was left outside the office for about 10 hours, and the temp was less than 20 degrees all day. The dealer has said there is an open issue, but BMW is seeking more information from people with this issue and has asked that I bring the car by the dealer to download info.

My X5 has been at the dealership all last week, and will remain there until the 'fix' is released. As for when that will happen, my service advisor said BMW doesn't even have a fix yet, so likely weeks.

UPDATE
Just got a call from my service advisor. The fix for the steering twitch is not going to be available until June or July. Looks like safety is a top priority for BMW! He said if I turn the lane assist off, and put it into sport mode the twitch goes away... Now I'm 99% confident that is not the case, as I tried virtually everything I could think of on several occasions when it was twitching. I think the actual motivation behind this is they do not want to keep paying for the rental BMW I'm driving. Can anyone experiencing this problem confirm if their twitch goes away with the lane assist off and sport mode on? Or should I just go down there and keep the keys for the rental and take mine for a spin to see is they're full of crap or not? |

I am so glad I don't live in a cold climate. This would drive me insane. One would think an emergency fix could be deployed while they work on a permanent fix. That is scary that they can't.
I only felt this twitch once when the temperature got down to 40 or so. It was unnerving. |

EJELITE, When I noticed the twitch I turned off the lane assist/intervention but there was no difference. Luckily, I am having the loaner for another few weeks to fix my start switch.

I think this is going to turn into a full on battle with the dealer. They seemed completely bewildered both times I went down there and refused to take my car. They desperately want this rental back, which leads me to believe BMW NA are the ones completely neglecting the problem. What does the dealership care if I keep the rental while mine is out of service due to warranty issues - they're supposed to be compensated by BMW for providing alternate transportation, no??? |

This is just an embarrassment for the brand. For BMW to not take complete and full responsibility for this is completely mind boggling. People use these cars to haul their families around and expect safety issues such as these to be fully vetted well before the cars are available for sale.
