Jake's experience is very similar to mine. The new X3 was towed 3 times before I could put 500 Km on it. Dealer tried several "fixes" and none worked so they blamed the fuel and suggested I use regular gasoline until the weather warmed up. Can't wait until it gets cold again to see what new problems I will face. In the meantime the Stability control warning light came on today. So I must drive slowly and contact my dealer who is 200 Km away. I would not recommend a BMW to anyone as they are only too happy to sell you poorly made factory vehicles. This applies not only to the dealership but those at their so called "customer service'. They play good cop /bad cop with the customer. Each say their hands are tied to do something because of the other.
