Hi Forum members!
My 06/2008 525iA was today at the dealer. Originally the termin was agreed due to a recall. Engine control software needed to be updated due to possible loss of power.
Additionally I asked to check the tires because of a strange noise that has been there since first 100 meters with the brand new car. The car has now 3700 kms in tacho and the noise has become louder. I was rather chocked as they told me that the bearing in left front tire is broken. It must have been fault from the very beginning. They didn't have time to change it today - new termin for wednesday next week. It seems to be so that saving in subcontracting causes bad quality
I also asked them why I can't see the traffic information in navi pro. They told me that as I use USB-connection the data can't be transformed. Can that really be as stupid a solution???
Not so happy greetings from Finland
