Anyways, you guys hear this?
I was kind of surprised to read that only 40% of all X5's made were sold in the U.S.
Wow, that sounds like one to get fixed in a hurry...
This is an update to the front brake caliper hose .Two clips are installed to hold the brake hose in place .
The rubber hose on the car has a built in retaining grommet to hold on to the strut ,in isolated cases it comes loose.
I work at a dealer and only 1 in every 20 have been found to be loose.
Went in yesterday for the recall.......recieved it early march but just got around to taking care of it.Didn't seem like a big deal. Also had to have both front door pulls replaced for the 3rd time....they keep chipping......wish they'd figure that out,hehe......oh wells.

if this same problem has happened in a year...then after the third time your car is declared a lemon and you are supposed to be given a brand new car under the california lemon law.
scary :
Milltek pipes. Ground control coilovers. Conforti Tuned. V1 & iPod hardwired
That really sucks!

My car also had to have the grips changed a few times, its real quick, no charge. Of course they should figure out a more permenent fix, but the dealer keeps me happy.
Whats the "door pull" and for what year is this recall for?
for sll x-5's that have the door handle peeling, happens quite often if you ask me.
Link is dead.
Damn, I didn't know the dealers were fixing the door pulls for free. I thought I'ld have to be stuck with that forever!!

It has to be safety related, You wont get a new car because paint peeled on your door handle.Originally Posted by Franchise

What year X5's is the recall for?
damn, mine just went out of warranty, I wish I had it replaced. It looks nasty, but I think even if I put new ones on there, it would peel, so F it!
someone post a pic of what it looks like... my parents got a 2004 x5 I wonder if this problem is fixed?
Good warning, does that apply to all of X5s?
yeah my shit peeled too gawd damnit.
Is the coating peeling on the interior door release handle or on the exterior?
I'm under warranty but would like to keep and eye on this.
Thanks!

What year did BMW start using the MK IV nav system? Ir more directly, does a 2002 X5 have a MKIII or MK IV nav system?
