X3 issues
I've owned 2 X3's both 2ltr diesels and both have given me some major repair bills, but overall they are great cars. Shame BMW main dealers charge so much and never went to charm school.
Both are 05 SE models. Issues I had are as follows
Car 1 (87k)
1, Mass Meter failure. £500
2, Swirl flap failure. £2500
3, Diff failure £2200
4, Rear springs Failure £350
5, Hand brake failure £300
6, Standard 17" wheels, tires £150 a shot for the so called BMW approved brands.
7, Brakes all round £700
Car 2 (58k)
1, Electric mirror and window failure £200 so far.
2, Diff about to die.
3, Leaking water seal on rear door - foot well fills up in stormy weather.
4' leather on side of seat cracking £200 to patch.
5, 18" alloys tires £250 a shot for the so called BMW approved brands.
6, wheels well looked after but paint still lifting.
Due front discs and pads Wheels need refurb and diff. All going to be very costly.
Ask the main agent for advice and they want large amounts of cash before they will comment, always quoting book it in and we will have a look at the cost of £120 per hour.
