The internet confirmed his story As it turns out, plenty of people have had this problem so far. I can't believe how many 50i owners have the same issue. I'm supposed to come back when the part comes in. The X5 xDrive50i gets a twin-turbo 4. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, these inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.
In profile, the X5's big wheels and short overhangs promote an agile look, while the roof and taillights trail into a slightly flanged lip. It was discovered by the dealer that during a previous service a vacuum hose was inadvertently cut. I've highly considered on but the options on them were not anything that I wanted haha. Will our cars be sitting in the dealer for months? The M model deletes the fog lights in favor of larger lower air intakes and more prominent grille openings. Its underbody is smoothed with various fairing devices. Standard line models are available with aluminum or one of three wood-trim packages: dark-stained bamboo almost black , dark-stained poplar the most traditional , and light-stained poplar essentially blonde.
Ours is driven 8-10K a year, perhaps why I haven't encountered many issues? That is my honest truth. Should I go with the 35i as far as reliability goes I don't care about the difference in gas mileage? Routine service record, clean maintenance history. I traded it in on an i3 lease. Everyone should know their Lemon Law time limits. There is also a loud clunk when rounding a corner.
The front spoiler directs air around the front tires, reducing resistance as the X5 punches a substantial hole in the air. Additionally, the fuel pump may stop working, possibly causing an engine stall and increase the risk of a crash. The 50i takes care of that, but it's a minor issue. This caused several sensors to malfunction rendering the car inoperative. Repaired when the car was brought in for routine, scheduled maintenance. Upon deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator to rupture. Seems the previous owner never took it back to the dealer and there was a crack in the cowling that let water into the injector coils! A new eight-speed automatic becomes standard on all but the diesel-powered xDrive35d, which carries on unchanged.
Because it's a 4 wheel drive and the electronic park that got engaged, special tow dollie wheels needed to be used. Just got the car back and got a surprising twist of events. Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the steering gear free of charge. I have no idea what that means but the only info they gave me is the car is running back to normal and this was the diagnosis. No longer are naturally aspirated units the norm but instead forced induction took over. They updated the engine software and problem was gone.
In the 2011 X5's case, it's specifically what's inside the engine bay that should make you take notice. It drives like a coupe and has the interior room of a coupe. Also, I think the 750i has the same engine? The standard fog lights also work as cornering lamps, lighting when the corresponding directional signal is selected. And for some people, it's certainly justified. I might be speaking too early; 20k miles is still relatively new.
These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment. I miss my M vehicles, it has been a long time. It seems like the new thing is to dump these cars after the warranty expires. My question is, how reliable is the N63 engine for daily driving? A 2nd follow-up visit will be required to insert a longer lasting talcum powder. Identified transfer case as the problem, required replacement.
As a result of this, I have now had to purchase another car a Nissan and had to take an uber to the lot to pick it up since my car may not even make it to the lot and back. They all work well, but there are so many that fine tuning takes time and some trial and error. Do they normally tell you over the phone? My wife is going to come looking for you! Cabin filter has been changed as well as others problem continues. The X5 isn't perfect, though. When the driver wants to shift manually, it works great, changing gears immediately with a quick movement of the wrist, up or down. It's matched to an efficient 8-speed automatic with manual shift capability through steering wheel paddles or the gearshift. The engine performance was degraded and I had to pull on the side of the road to restart the car.
Absolutely no regrets with the decision. Super-bright adaptive xenon headlights come standard. We are currently putting on about 15-20k miles year and plan to keep on doing that for 3-5 years. The affected vehicles have a front driveshaft universal joint that may not seal out water and debris from getting in and damaging the joint, which could lead to its failure. The safety recall is expected to begin during july 2012.
