This is a new car that broke down after 157 miles. The car has been disabled since September 4th 2023. As of today, I still do not have it and do not have a clear ETA for the repair. The diagnosis from the dealership is a defective combined charging unit. The part had to be back-ordered from Germany. A week or so after the incident, the service agent at BMW of Portchester (Kurt Hinrichs) told me on the phone that the part is undergoing a design upgrade. Hence the initial 7-10 business days minimum for the part to arrive would have to be revised. I did complain with bmw, including copying the CEO of bmw of north america in one of my complains as I was not receiving any (none) attention from customer service. Customer service did respond after this escalation. They offered me 5000 USD and sent me a check accordingly. They also told me that the part would be received by the dealership by 9/25. The dealership called me then stating that they expect to receive the part towards the end of the week of 9/25. As of today, 9/28 - 12 pm EST, they have not received anything and have been unable to tell me where the part is or when they really expect it. Without the part, the car is not drivable at all. I am sending you this note to report this hoping that there is not something more fundamentally wrong with the 2024 X5 50e, to the point that the manufacturer might be redesigning parts on the fly after having sold the car to at least one customer.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2024","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"X5","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]}]}
