Problem after problem
I've had my car since 20 August 2014, and It's currently at 31k miles. This car has went to the dealership a total of 21 times JUST FOR ISSUES (not including normal maintenance).
My car has spent all day today and all day yesterday being checked out by technicians for the ninth time for my ticking noise coming from the front axle. They still can't figure anything out which just makes everything even more frustrating. Anyone else having terrible luck or is that just me? I just want to go at least a month without the car having to go into the dealership for some stupid sh!t and staying there for days at a time. |

I'm not sure about the Germans as far as work schedule, but I was a Supervisor in an UAW Automotive Assembly plant and could never figure our when my employees would show up for work. The first nice Friday in the late Winter/Early Spring and you would think everyone would call off work and low and behold, everyone would show up. Then some random ass Wednesday, no weather issues, nothing going on, and I would have a bunch of call offs. I never knew what to expect.!!!!

if you have a recurring issue like with front axle its better to reproduce it for them yourself... ask the advisor or tech to come along. Its more time consuming but still have you tons of hassle going back and forth

But nope, mine hasn't been in once for anything since I got it 8 months ago, which could obviously change over the next 2ish years that I own. Let us know if they find anything, as mentioned above its best to take a mechanic for a ride so they can hear the noise. I know you're trying to sell the car as well, hopefully you can fix the issue and sell it in solid condition

After I told the service manager everything I witnessed his technician do he said "this is how we diagnose cars here" and i screamed at the top of lungs back at him "thats not how you diagnose a fucking car" he turned around and walked away. As soon as I got home I reported it immediately to BMW NA

My 2013 550 IX had the same right front noise. When flipping a u turn it was a tick or a grind for about four seconds. Loud too...I brought it to a dealer in Austin when I was there they were clueless and then back in Chicago they heard it loud and clear and replaced the right front axle. Problem resolved. I truly believe their are sub par dealers and dealers who have much more experienced technical staff than other dealers.
Trust me they love the warranty work. $$$$$$$$ Good Luck. |
