DEALER > ok so probably is transfer box we will replace if found faulty under warranty

DEALER  > 14 days later called to say tranfer box tested and found faulty so replace under warranty FOC
CUSTOMER > 2 weeks in the hire car was great my wife loved parking it on multi storey car parks and people actually let you out of junctions unlike the X5.

Dealers are one of the primary reasons I don't want to spend money on a newer BMW!
