When my X3 was in for approximately (2) weeks we were given a new (300 miles) 328i xDrive and then a new (50 miles) 535i.

If you purchased elsewhere, most US dealers will be reluctant to offer a free loaner. In most "big city" US dealerships, a BMW loaner vehicle will be given to a customer who is having warrantee work done at the original "purchase" store. The policy is set by the individual dealer franchises. It's really a shame that BMW doesn't have a corporate policy regarding loaner vehicles. I guess the BMW engineers confuse "Z"s with "C"s. Commonly referred to as the CPU or main computer by the rest of the world. In BMW talk, the ZGM is the "Zentral Gateway Module" or "Central Gateway Module" for those without a German accent. The dealer staff was nice and friendly, but there's definitely something crappy about this. I don't know any more, except that keeping my X3 35i for weeks and giving me a Corolla in exchange, and charging me $20 for the Corolla is not impressing me. I believe it's "Replaced ZGM and reprogrammed".

PS: Anyone know if any Bluetooth updates have come out since March 2011? My Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP) was always a little flaky in that car.Įdit/Delete Message Reply With Quote Multi-Quote This Message Quick reply to this messageĪnyone have a similar experience? How was it resolved? It apparently needs to be completely reprogrammed.
And I've been given a Toyota Corolla as a replacement vehicle.Īnyway, still no guess as to when (if?) it will ever be fixed. They have apparently turned the matter over to BMW headquarters by letting the programmers there remote access the car (I guess it's plugged into something at the shop). Today the dealer says that the car doesn't start now, and the computer still isn't working. Now that one has been replaced, but they said that when they tried to program it, the computer crashed. Then they got it, installed it, and said "No, the module was fine, it's the diagnostic controller that was faulty and falsely said the module was faulty." The dealer said some module was defective, and was backordered. I was at a stop light when most of the warning lights came on in the dash (parking brake on, ABS failure, 4x4 problem, tire pressure problem, other things related to braking/traction. My 2011 X3 35i has now been in the shop for 3 weeks.
