well I'm getting my car back today, they said they were able to fix one problem but not the other problem.(couldnt reproduce it) 28 dyas later, and yeah a loaner car is nice but an x5 for a 545 is not the same and definatly not woorth the payment of a 545. i have software problems, transmision problems, engineover heating problems.

 

Next time it's in for service for the same problem, I'd lemon law it. I've had two cars replaced (for friends) under the LL so far. It works pretty well.

 

Lemon laws vary from state to state. Why don'd you Google your state's lemon law and find out what the law is for your particular state? That way you can be sure to keep track and when the time limit is getting close you have some extra 'incentive' for the dealer.

 

I've had my car in to service for a static in the stereo system problem at least 3 times that i've owned it. One time they replaced the MASK unit- didn't help. The last two times, they just played the 'could not duplicate concern' card. It happens sporadically, usually when the car has been driven for an hour or so and it is warmer outside. I get the car back from the dealer, go somewhere, turn the car back on, and there's the good 'ole static again! I don't know what i'd do without it, i'm so used to it! This static problem also showed up on the vehicle history report, so that makes 4 times the problem has been attempted to be fixed to no avail. I bought the car used with 7900 miles on it.

Also, I have a noise in the suspension they've attempted to repair, without success, twice now. They've taken my whole suspension apart twice now. Not too comfortable knowing that. I'm going in for a third time for that next week.

The car has been in the shop a total of about 15 days. I live in Florida. Are these problems serious enough to be Lemon Lawed? They don't seem serious enough to me......

 

problems still all exist, i am getting tired of the line that they use saying could not duplicate.

 

Who's the dealer? Savaga?

 

No. but it doesnt matter been to 3 different dealerships and they all have the same answers with each time.

Just got mine back after 2 1/2 weeks in the shop for engine repairs (after only 2000 miles?). The Director of Operations commented to me that only after 15 business days could I ask for a new replacement car or my money back. Incidently, it was only after I called and raised hell to the dealer, sent 3 letters into the GM and other Managers, and complained to BMWUSA, that I received a call back. Pathetic customer service. Btw... they returned the car with a door ding (my 1st), grease stains on the headliner, and a scuffed bumper from where they hit something.
