Hmmm...I was sure I heard something about this issue before outside this forum.
Ha, there it is: https://www.thedrive.com/news/43586/...rigger-airbags

I would have considered another BMW as well but the lack of options and discounts made me look somewhere else. There is the right time to get a certain vehicle and at that point, it was not the right time to get a BMW and I would argue that's still the case.

Sorry didn't mean to hijack the thread. Back on topic: I'd love to see what it looks like under the cup holders on 2022 models, but I'm too afraid ripping mine open.

If BMW was not able to order an X7 with the options we wanted we were going to take a Jeep and save $50K. Will see how the X7 turns out. I know BMW makes a great 60-70K SUV. And compared to the Jeep that is not a horrible jump. I am still questioning the sanity of my 110K X7 build but time will tell. |

It's not just the network. The level of customer service you get at Jeep - well - is pretty low. I guess something has to give when you're spending less...

The car is a massive piece of shit. Dump it and move on like I did. I literally ran from that thing as far as humanly possible. Complete crap, would NEVER buy a BMW again, or recommend. In the first year it needed new tires at 13k, a wheel bearing which BMW never acknowledged and still makes a suspension noise they refuse to acknowledge and then we had this same issue and we'd never spilled anything in the H&C cupholder. Dumped it and moved on, happily.

I switched to slightly skinnier wheels with high performance all season tires and the difference in grip is incredible. The all seasons start squealing as soon as you try to do any aggressive cornering; the stock tires would just stick and do the job with no fuss. I can't speak to your other issues, but it sounds like you had a bad dealership with a bad service department that didn't take your issues seriously. BMW needs to do a much better job of enforcing high quality standards at their dealerships. I luckily found an amazing dealership that is ethical, trustworthy, puts in the effort to do the right thing even if it costs them a bit of time/money, and they will push BMW corporate when necessary to get their customers taken care of. Many BMW dealerships are not like that (another current top thread here on the X7 forums provides an excellent example of that), and that's not acceptable for a luxury brand. It's reasonable to expect that every single BMW dealership will be excellent; that's what you're paying for. The average person doesn't do much research into this, they just use their local dealership, and in that case they're better off buying a Genesis and getting a car which is just as good and (arguably) more reliable, for less money. |

Everyone affected by spilled liquids in the cup holders should take a few minutes to file a complaint on the NHTSA's website - www.nhtsa.gov. If enough owners complain, NHTSA will investigate.

Apparently not, my dealer is telling me the same thing on a car I've had less than a week. I spilled nothing, but apparently even too much condensation can drip down according to the class action lawsuit.

The part that I find hilarious in all this is that I stumbled across this issue when searching for a solution to a VERY leaky thermal travel mug BMW dealer gifted me on pickup of my car. There is no solution. And it's not a one off. Seems every single one of these mugs leaks like crazy. See amazon.de reviews below.
https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Original-...pe=all_reviews So not only do the cupholders leak through and break expensive electronics, but some poor saps like me are getting leaky mugs gifted to them by BMW dealers to help ensure that the problem arises. |
