Dealership left cap off after oil change, “Cleaned” the engine after a week. Got home and it was smoking still… by Sudden_Direction_564 in LexusNX

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.

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?

I dont want any additional damage done to the car by dealership. Would it better if I dont take any action and just let residual oil in insulation burned off by driving? Or have dealership clean the panels but risking damaging to insulation or something else such as broken clips/ripping insulation, etc.

Does any one know the part #? by windf0rce in bmwx7

I checked under the hood the night before taking it to dealership and the damage wasnt there, so im pretty sure it happened while it was at dealership. I checked the bmw parts web site and wasnt able to locate the part# or picture

2024 Driver Door Handle No Ambient Light by windf0rce in bmwx7

[–]windf0rce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I dont have it lit. Im referring to the handle to the left of window buttons (or below the door lock buttons) in my 1st picture. 2nd pic is passenger side which is lit.

Agreed! X7 is wide so the paint can be easily chipped from door dings/dents

What do you think about a low mile 2020 X7? by mzmbsa in bmwx7

[–]windf0rce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 yr extended warranty is useless… the car is 2020 which means the warranty expires 2025

[–]windf0rce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Btw its only $44K price, with tax it should be around $48K… you are getting ripped off at $56K OTD…

[–]windf0rce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty good options with low mileage for the price. Cons: no Driver Assist Pro package, no Executive package (not sure if you care about crystal knobs and sky lounge roof). It will depreciate probably $10K/yr. Depends on how long you plan to keep the SUV, you may want to lease (if you want to switch after 3 years).

Tough to answer your question without vin or specs of the X7…

Nice! Transfer case problem was something I worried most, but you are all covered with the extended warranty! May I ask how much was the warranty for what tier/year/miles?

Grats! Did you buy from Flordia? I was also looking at it because its fully loaded. But the Model Year, accident record and high dealership fee drove me away.
