Got a taste of the V8

Had my first oil change today and got a loaner to drive back to work. I was given a 2023 X5 M50i. I now see what you guys are saying about the V8. Brings a smile to your face. Still happy with the straight 6 in my X7 though. I

Only thing of note from the oil change was them replaceing a sunroof seal that had srunck and caused a fair amount of wind noise. The biggest surprise there was that the part was in stock.

Probably not the first time they've encountered that issue so may as well be prepared.

My dealer also had the seals in stock. Also the windshield side trim pieces. I think it's a common issue, especially on post-2019/2020 models?

As for wind noise on the driver side near mirror area 2019 Xdrive 40i…. I just notice that yesterday. Played around with the glass windows couldn’t help .
OP, did you have to bring up the wind noise problem or they just automatically fixed it under warranty

Everybody focuses on 0-60 mph times. My joy is 65 - 110 mph -- pure adrenaline!

I had to bring it up. Told them there was wind noise generally from the sunroof area.
