Re: Dealer Experiences

Fawdington BMW, Newcastle upon Tyne. Excellent, can't fault their sales service. There is a right cock in the service dept, but the world isn't perfect and the Sales team back you up rather than the dealer if there is a problem. Ask for Anthony Kenny, gives the best discounts ever, say Matt sent you...

On top of my battery drain issue, i have noted recently that the car is over revving at low speeds, and not dropping the revs when i take my foot of the accelerator. Still love the car, but as this forum is the font of all X knowledge, and to aid my sense of security with the car, I will turn to you...

Battery Drain

Right, my XDrive system failed last week, and the garage has claimed it is a battery drain. As i had driven circa 300 miles at the time of the failure, they agreed this couldn't be right.

Re: My new BMW X5 40d Msport E70FL
