#2 of 4 Nav system by lessbs

Nov 12, 2010 (11:48 am)

I added the nav system when I ordered my X5 2011 diesel which I have had for about 3 months. It won't accept some addresses and sends me on a circuitous route on most others (as much as twice the distance it should be). Dealer comment is "there has been lots of trouble with the nav". No fix in sight. The car is leased in case there were problems like this. If I get a new one down the road, I will not pay for an added nav (I now use the Garmin I bought some years ago for a Lexus that did not have nav---works way better than the BMW nav system at a fraction of the cost).

#3 of 4 Hearing Fluid Noise in 2011 X5 Diesel by swoodman

Jan 31, 2013 (10:45 am)

My wife and I bought a brand new 2011 X5 Diesel. One year later we began to hear fluid floating back in forth in the cabin of the car, on the driver's side, as we accelerated and stopped. Around the same time the engine light came on. I'm on my forth visit back to the dealer within two months for the same problems. It wasn't until the third visit they're explanation was that the D.E.F was low and the noise was a normal occurrance in diesels. They said they topped off the D.E.F and the light was due to some nitrous oxide levels. No sooner than a day later I was right back at the dealer and they insisted on it being normal. As for the engine light, they're still trying to figure it out. I refuse to accept that a luxury brand like BMW that spends millions of dollars on researching noise reduction will be okay with consumers driving their cars hearing fluids sloshing around. Has anyone dealt with this issue?

I have the same problem with certain areas. I always need to have my phone with me just in case I need to use it's nav.
