The emergency call system on the vehicle has failed and I am getting an error message. The service center at the dealership informed me that water ingress into the shark fin that houses the system caused the system to short and fail resulting in the need for a complete replacement of the system at a cost of $3100.

While driving on the highway at 60 mph, your sunroof suddenly exploded with a loud noise like a gunshot, with glass fragments falling onto the back seats and floor.

We previously had an issue with this vehicle where the dashboard gauges were shifting a few inches to the left and lost visibility to the speedometer. This was resolved after a few visits with the gauge cluster being replaced. We are now having an issue where occasionally the dashboard gauge cluster will go completely blank for a few seconds.

I purchased a new 2019 bmw x3 xdrive 30i midsize SUV on august 31, 2019. I specifically chose the driver assist option that includes both lane departure and blind spot warning features. Upon testing to verify that these features were functioning properly, I discovered that the steering wheel vibration warning feature did not work.

The lane departure warning system on my new bmw x3 (purchased may 3, 2019) does not work. This is a non-trivial failure in bmw's so-called "intelligent safety system." the response I've received so far from my bmw dealer in ocala, florida is unsatisfactory. They insist it is working, just at a slight vibration.

On the 2019 BMW X3, we’ve experienced the tailgate opening while the vehicle is in traffic, and the transmission is in ‘D’ drive. The safety hazard I’m suggesting be investigated is that the buttons on the remote key fob to the vehicle, including lock, unlock, tailgate, and panic, ALL work even if the vehicle is turned on and driving.

Tailgate opens on its own. Once in motion more often after loading dogs in the back, closing it and then it opens as I open the drivers door. A fix is to start the car first the open the tailgate and close that seems to help.
