I'd like to hear from any 2007 or 2008 owners out there about any issues you've had with your X5. I'm getting ready to finalize negotiations with Chrysler on my '08 Commander to buy me out through lemon law. I've settled on the X5 and the Land Rover LR3. (Please, no replies about how different the vehicles are. My only concerns are luxury and how much I like the vehicle as I live in the city and don't off-road or tow.) I had an '06 X5 that I loved and never had an issue with but, since the LR3 now has an electric steering wheel adjustment, I'm torn between which one I like better. I get a good deal from BMW because of my relationship with them but one of my best friends runs the LR store just a mile from my office and I know I can get a good deal from him too and if I do have problems, it would be closer than the BMW store, which is about 5 miles away. I know everything about both vehicles as far as equipment, drive, capabilities, etc, however I haven't heard much about problems with the '08. I'm a 24 month leaser so I'm not really so worried about problems with 2 or 3 year old vehicles, just wondering if anyone out there has had initial problems, like I've had with my Commander since day one. Thanks,

i just bought a new 2008 X5 recently, and i noticed that the steering wheel does not move up whenever enter the car any more. I can still adjust it with the switch, but it is very annoying that it stops working after just few drives? This seems to happen after a trip to the dealer to put on the leather/din-dan protection. Is there any one who has any idea what could go wrong? Thanks.

Replying to: stanton08 (Oct 29, 2008 7:40 pm) What I discovered was that someone (probably the dealership) changed a setting on either the seat or steering wheel and now the car is not sure it's you. To fix it - I held the button on the seat that I had my setting stored into. In my case it was button "1" (there are two buttons, 1 and 2 - and a memory set button above them all). Once I did that - all was back to normal. I would assume that if you have not stored your settings in the memory - then if you set your steering wheel and then store it - it should start to work again. That's my 2 cents!

Replying to: bmwx5guy (Oct 29, 2008 8:22 pm) but nothing changed. Then I tried to save the current positions into '1', but still not work. I then tried to move the steering wheel up and down, adjust the seat back and forth, etc., then save --- and then it finally works. It seems that the memory was quite confused and all messed up. By the way, after this was fixed, i then noticed that my blue tooth phone setting was all gone!! I re-paired it over again, and finally everything seems to work.... Thanks again -- it saves me a trip to the dealership. |
