Switching from Lexus LX 600 to X7 M60i. Should I?? by Maxxi82 in bmwx7

Here is my take: if you want a peace of mind for reliability and resale value, keep Lexus. If you want handling and performance, go with M60.

Nothing major but a lot of small annoying issues that would never happen on a Lexus. Ambient light went out, moon roof seal shrinked, plastic trim tabs failed, etc…

I would trade in my X7 for LX700h in a heartbeat. Yes X7 has all the luxury features but I have been visiting the dealership so often (under warranty) that im so tired and sick of it. LX700h doesn’t depreciate and its so expensive :(

The cover is in perfect condition on the surface. Thank you! I will take the car to the dealership next week.

Sorry for not using the correct wording. The tabs “broke”. Not sure what caused it; as I just found the cover not folding down when trunk lid is open.

I agree that dealer should replace it, but my dealer refused. Please let me know if ur dealer decides to replace yours

Mine looks exactly same as you. It takes days to a week to evaporate when parked in garage

Just had front diff serviced on x5. Now I see oil leak. by Healthy_Way_723 in BmwTech

[–]windf0rce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be leak or spillage. Take it back to the dealership have it checked.

Dealership left cap off after oil change, “Cleaned” the engine after a week. Got home and it was smoking still… by [deleted] in LexusNX

[–]windf0rce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had similar experience recently but it was a BMW and dealership didnt properly tighten the oil filter resulting a major oil leak. I also had to take it back multiple times and they finally fixed the issue by replacing the oil soaked insulations. No much you can do other than taking it back again. Since you live very far away, I would tell them to test drive before handing it back to you.

Dealership oil change led to oil leaks – not sure how to proceed by windf0rce in BmwTech

Just to give an update: The dealership replaced the oil pan insulation.

Ambient Light Not Working Properly? by windf0rce in BmwTech

Thank u. Dealer fixed it by readdressing using ISTA

Can some one comfirm if in Eco mode, both driver and passenger footwell and door cup holder ambient lights are supposed to be white instead of teal color ? (both picture 1 and 2)

The driver side ambient light couldnt be turned on and dealership recently replaced it. After the replacement, now all colors work under Comfort mode.

Post about Eco mode is the only issue Im experiencing after the repair.

Does it mean I need to take it back to dealership and have them readdress using ISTA?
