It looks like someone over tigthen the screw to the point it broke the plastic, or the pedal itself have a flaw.
BMW better stepped up on this before someone get injured.

ok guys, I've got another issue as of their morning: Chassis malfunction (see pic)
I'm bringing it to BMW of San Antonio tomorrow hopefully I'll make it there alive given this nonsense. They will only tow it to the dealer close by who for many many reasons will not and cannot have my vehicle there.

Hopefully you get there in one piece, drop it off, take their loaner and hopefully BMW will be send you a check shortly. Once you receive that then give the loaner back. It would appear that no matter what the dealer does to your vehicle it will be safe or fixed completely. There is no way BMW will be able to deny it needs to be bought back with a straight face.

As for the chassis malfunction, it's even worse, unfortunately. This means dampers, active sway bar, and sport diff are all inactive. It's a mess to drive with 0 help from anything but the springs. Body roll isn't bad but wow it feels awful compared to before. I also don't think my IAS (4 wheel steering) is working based on how it turns now. Something big must have failed to cause that whole system to go down

Thanks, I want to know what the underlying issue is. As an engineer, I know these issues are too coincidental for one vehicle without some root cause. I doubt I'll find out, but if I do I'll gladly share!

made it to SA in very good time, a hair over 4hrs
without active dampers the car rides like it has a bad air suspension, o never realized how much of a difference they made vs just springs

no loaner, they apparently didn't have any: rolleyes: despite telling me they would if I came at opening so I have an Enterprise rental they're paying for. I picked the least awful vehicle, Ford Expedition Max which I'll swap for something else when I get home.
The SM was surprised by my gas pedal literally hanging there and I told him it's been like that for a few days but BMW NA doesn't seem to care. I'll find out what happens and post a copy of the drop off ticket when I get home edit: forgot to mention, while driving this morning everything went black including the instrument panel! that came back about 10s, main screen took 30s. By the time I hit record on my phone the instrument panel was up but not the mains screen. This is a very dangerous thing to have occur while on an interstate!

I don't trust dealers and thats my request. I know how they treat cars on a test drive from many I had a dash cam in.

Isn't this just the most recent set of issues, isn't there much more still residual from prior burst of issues?

Blank screen happened to mine exactly like that also while driving down the interstate. BMW bought it back and gave me all my money back, all payments, and all the cash I spent for window tinting ceramic and ppf. I took my Audi Q7 back from my wife and bought her a 2020 GLE. Have been missing my x5 so I check these forums every now and then, but safety of my family is well worth it. Maybe in a couple years I'll go back to an x5.. but not anytime soon. |

If you truly had legal representation they would advise you to refrain posting this sort of stuff on social media (forums) and most certainly if there was an impending law suit against BMW NA. Any attorney that is currently following this thread would completely concur.
