Thanks for posting.
My X3 was built during that timeframe so I’ll be on the lookout to see if my car has to go in.

Same here, mine went into production May 3rd, but haven't heard anything yet, will post if I do.

Hmm.. I'm in that build timeframe, from start to finish. Guess I'll try to avoid curvy roads with lots of trees in the mean time.

I am getting delivery tomorrow, finally getting my 20d I ordered in February. Don't know if I'll sleep much tonight, am too excited.

Emailed my CA and wasn't aware of this issue and said to call the #

Potential Number of Units Affected: 50

Really? They could just call the 50 people up on the phone....

Nahoa · 07-05-2011, 05:19 PM

Kinda wonder if they did call them up. No indication so far of a BMW statement.

Well I'll be testing it for sure cause that's my daily commute!

Darn, my car was build in this timeframe :-(
I wonder if bmw Belgium would fix the issue if my car was affected, before i go to pick it up in 1 or 2 weeks

acey81 · 07-06-2011, 03:39 AM

I wonder how many cars in total that are affected considering that more than 10 000 X3s have been produced during that timeframe.

Checked with my dealer in the UK and he said my motor was not affected (it arrived in UK yesterday) and that the Service Manager believed it only affected North America vehicles.

Itchywasabi · 07-06-2011, 09:15 AM

They may have produced more than 50 X3s during this timeframe... I believe there are more than 50 vehicles affected.
