Had multiple electronic and mechanical malfunctions over the last few months.
The auto tailgate would open and close at random(and open to fully up after stopping), doors locking and unlocking, wipers going on at high speed by themselves and hazards blinking furiously, plus flashing warning lights turning the dash into a Christmas display and a catalog or warning messages on the nav screen. Not nice experiences while driving, especially at highway speed! X3 has been at the dealer on and off for about 5 weeks total since early July. Had multiple software updates plus the wiper and tailgate motors replaced.
Fortunately the X3 finally performed the full array of these activities while sitting at the dealer, including the tailgate opening and closing by itself about 30 times nonstop (and captured by them on video for posterity).
JBE replaced over a week ago and all seems fine now.
Got to drive a nice array of loaners in the process (535, x5 35i, 3 x3 28i's with a variety of specs).
Have to say my dealer's service department have been totally professional throughout. Could not have asked much more of them to this point.
Their service test records look like a collection of telephone directories!!!
Keeping fingers crossed that all will be well from this point forward.
