Anyone with any engine/transmission problems with 2013 X3 35i

Hello to all,

I finally received my x3! Two days later took it back to the dealership due to a thumping sound coming from under the hood. They tried to convince me that it might just be the way the engine sounds due to
Turbo, etc. it made no sense.

Long story short they compared it to another X3 in showroom from which I heard nothing, although the service department stated they could faintly hear the same noise. Not true! They ended up keeping the car. Now a week later and they still have my car stating they ordered a new "fly wheel" to replace it! Very frustrating experience! It's new, straight from factory they should just replace the car!

Has anyone experienced any problems?

I'm having the same problem and the dealer keeps saying that nothing's wrong. Had the car only 2 1/2 weeks and sounds like crap. I've had diesels that are quieter

Update: left the car with the dealership for almost 1 week and they had to replace the fly wheel. The car now sounds great! I was only able to test it out for 2 days due to leaving for a two week vacation. As soon as I return I will keep test driving it and hoping it keeps quiet!!! Take it to dealership and tell them to check the fly wheel. My dealership had to contact PUMA in order to help them fix it because hey had no idea what to do!

My New 2013 X3 has spent more time at the dealership than in my driveway since I purchased it 6 weeks ago. It is now in pieces as they seem to have a vacuum leak ( which was what I told them I thought it was 5 weeks ago) Now they have to wait for some expensive diagnostic tool from corporate to fix it. It also went in for a chassis unstable light and supposedly it was a battery run down. ?on a new car? Not liking this one.
