| Message: | I will buy a BMW. I hope anyone interested in buying a BMW reads this. My car has been in the shop for three weeks with a dead battery and NOBODY knows how to fix it. I have called everybody at BMW under the sun and nothing, absolutly nothing. I don't know what else to do. Here is the history of what a BMW is CHRONOLOGY OF FAILURES 2005 BMW X5 4.4 I 1- June 13, 2005. Took possession of vehicle 2- June 21,2005. ONE WEEK LATER vehicle will not run, had to be towed to dealer. It took one week to repair. 3- August 2, 2005. Car is rough idling. Dealer says is OK. Rough idling has never gone away. 4- February 16,2006. Vehicle will not run, had to be towed to dealer. This is the second time the car leaves me stranded. 5- February 16, 2006. Locks not working 6- August 24, 2006. A/C takes too long to cool. No problem found, or so they say. 7- August 24, 2006. Self leveling alarm is on all the time 8- February 6, 2007.
