2003 X5 BMW three spoke steering wheel has a one-inch gap in one of the spokes. I got my finger caught in there a couple of times while driving.
I purchased the vehicle used, I have had it for about 5 months and have had some serious problems (steering column, window regulators, engine, and coolant leakage). I see where these issues seem to be consistent with the vehicle, but am having a hard time getting the recall work done. I can's afford to spend a lot on this car, but I feel like I may have more than I bargained for. My extended warranty is not paying for much !!! help.
We have replaced 7 window regulators keep breaking. All BMW parts. Defective design. Also now the steering angle sensor has went out and causing issues with brakes etc. Bith of these issues cause the auto to fail safety inspection. The drivers side regulator scraped all the tinting off the inside of the window as well. The regulators were all replaced 4 years ago with BMW parts and they are broken again and being replaced again. Reasearching if there is after market to fix problem with that dowest have the defect BMW's regulators have. The fix is almost $2000. 00 each time. The steering angle sensor has been malfunctioning and was just diagnosed and abs and brake lights on. .
