X7
I would note that since I purchased the first of my two X5's in December I have driven five X5's and all of them had the same issues. I also had the chance to drive one of the new X7's and it performed flawlessly. That has them pulling their hair out because it is suppose to be the same system.

My guess is that the sheer volume of X5s greatly outnumbers the newly introduced x7, which also is a lot more expensive properly equipped. I’m sure they feel a lot of pressure to crank out all of those x5s as fast as possible, whereas the x7s probably have a more sane pace of construction.
I’m really interested in the x7, but I’ve been pricing them online and are about $20k more than my X5 cost a month ago. In a few years, when I trade, it will definitely be a top contender. |

I have a 2019 X5 40i -- I have had problems on quite a number of occasions with the A/C compressor switching off a few minutes into the drive even when it's like 95 degrees out when I'm on Auto mode. When investigating, I would find that the Climate Control selector was unselected (I was sure I had kept it selected beforehand). Once I click that again, or when I click the Max Air button, the compressor comes back on and cold air resumes. Very annoying.
I also have problems with my second row right seat not aligning with the left and middle seats (i have the third row option) when the seats are electronically adjusted to the rear most position (the left seats seem to recline half an inch more than the right) . Today the rear right seat unlocked warning came on and won't switch off... |

I think BMW lost this "first year teething problems" thing a couple of years back. About time to put on the big-boy pants if they want to play in the same playground as the other Germans....

MB and Audi have had more than their fair share of first year issues over the last few years. Which German Marques are you referring to?

Anyone having issues with late more recent builds? Lingering, underlying unresolved issues?

I use the camera extensively when in drive thru lanes (yes, I'm one of the X5's in the Starbucks line). On occasion, I have to press the camera button twice. NBD but just mentioning. This is all on a 20' 40i. |

The letters AC in the display turn red or white but I always forget what color is on or off. It is not really clear. If you open the menu the ac checkbox is unchecked. You can switch it on again by pushing the AC button or checking the box. |

With that analysis, this should be a 30min fix for BMW engineers ... if they actually listened to customers and accepted bug reports. They don't. Screw them.

Where BMW hosed their customers was the first year buyers. The iDrive 7 is noticeably better in the 2020 model year. The drivers assistance view is just one example. What is the hold up why they don’t firmware update it to the early 2019 that are equipped with the hardware??? It seems like they have moved on and only addressing 2020 models with support.

I currently have 3/2020.58 loaded in our X7. Is the X5M using that or newer? If not what is the most recent update available for the F95?

Very frustrated with all the tech issues and BMWs delay and failure to address them. May well be my last BMW. I've been a loyal customer with 14 BMWs purchased including 2 buybacks.
So glad I'm leasing the X5. No way I'd keep it especially once the warranty has expired. With this damn pandemic it has very low miles with no wear and tear as we are empty nesters with no dogs. Residual will be considerably more than true market value so no way I'll purchase and then trade.

I sure hope they fixed that for the 2021 - the tech in my 2018 M4 works great, no issues.
