"consistent difficulties getting the phone book to fully upload to the car"

"phone partially pairs. Can accept incoming calls on bluetooth, cannot make outgoing calls"

"Very difficult to pair new Apple phones. Had to contact BMW tech support. Just ridiculous."

"Sirius radio won't acquire signal"

"Sat radio looses authorization and then gains it back again. Off and On and Off and On again"

"Sirius radio won't acquire signal. Dealer has worked on issue more than 10 times without resolution"

"the speaker Made a noise similar to the one a microphone makes when it gets close to a speaker. This noise was on and off for few days then one time the noise got louder and a loud pop followed by a burning smell that disappeared gradually. Took it to the dealer to find out that the speaker on ther rear passenger door behind the driver is dead. And it was replaced under warranty"

"One of the speakers cracked at some DBs"

"Loud noise when breaking. Replaced the brakes and rotors"

"They wear out too fast!"

"Two sets of front rotors replaced due to warn brakes. Started within a month of replacement. Bmw took no responsibility Blaming the issue on rust due to leaving the car unused for a week. I have replaced the rotors again at my cost only to have the issue reappear. No resolution as yet."

"Sensors were off and replaced. Brakes wore after 12K miles"

"When I have not driven my vehicle for more than 3 days the brakes make a loud grinding sound."

"After a brake fluid service. Loud screaming"

"Left stranded on the interstate"

"Water pump went at 40,000 miles"

"Engine kill at 65mph on the interstate highway. Had to cross 3 lanes of traffic while coasting to a dead stop."

"Water pump failed at about 13,000 mi. Had to be towed to the dealer"

"The water pump mysteriously failed 200 miles after the dealer changed out the coolant reservoir."

"Rear differential failed...I was told there was metal in the differential fluid due to the damage...this happened with only 15,000 miles on the car...BMW said most likely a factory defect"

"Another recall and no new parts to replace defective parts"

"Recalled by BMW. No replacement part available. Now waiting 4 months"

"Recall of X5 for driveshaft replacement. Took over a year to be able to obtain repair."

"Driveshafts recalled and replaced under warranty"

"Had to be replaced before 100,000 miles. Car went into safe mode."

"Passenger side door would not open with keyless remote. Was not covered under warranty because it was not an electrical issue. Replaced door knob at a cost of $900.00. Had a similar problem later with rear door knobs, said that it covered. Stated that it was the wording of the issue which covered it by warranty."

"stop working, unable to lock or open doors"

"TPM alert went on and off several times across a week. We verified that tire pressure was correct. Took to dealer for inspection. They replaced multiple faulty sensors"

"Faulty switch triggered the warning light. Was correct immediately"

"Just quit, not a fuse, can't fix without a computer for car. Not user friendly"

"My BMW X5 has a loud rattling noise in the dash. It has occurred since the 2nd year I've owned the vehicle, and the service people have not been able to fix it. Very disappointing for such an expensive SUV."

"Hatchback latch doesn't seem to close tight. This causes the squeaks"

"Somehow coins get "lost" in the center console that requires the entire dash/console to come out to retrieve. BMW cannot figure out how coins can enter the area. They will continuously roll around and drive you mad"

"Air leakage in the suspension bags due to inferior rubber component decaying prematurely"

"Their was an oil leake from underneath the car. Up on raising the car and close inspection at the dealer. It turned out that it was coming from the steering pump. The had to replace it which is very expensive, but it was under their 5 years warranty so it coast me nothing"

"Car had only 54000 miles and issues. Hard to believe with such low miles"

"Was experiencing excessive oil consumption for the past year, eventually having to add a quart of engine oil approximately every 250-500 miles. As part of a class action lawsuit, dealer replaced engine valve seals, vents, turbo return lines. Since the repair was done 3+ months ago I've driven 2,000 miles without adding a quart of oil."

"Problems getting car into gear."

"Car only had 54000 miles and shouldn’t have these issues. Wanted another $5000 to fix"

"Tailgate has push-button open/close. It stopped latching when closed. BMW replaced a motor and drive components. Then we took it to body shop at least twice and they adjusted and fixed it temporarily. Then it stopped latching correctly again. We gave up and just give it a nudge when it closes now."

"Molding on the inside seems to be drying out, cracking and pulling away from the hatch."

"Tailgate always closed hard. It began bouncing back up at 5 years of age. Would not lock. We had to replace door actuator that now closes gently. It was always bad and should have been covered by extended warranty. It was not covered."
