  • Thank you everyone! I thought we were right to reject the car, they're just trying to make it difficult I think.

    "Turn it off and turn it on again".

    Really? On a brand new £40k car?

    Get it returned.
    To be fair - I’ve seen power cycling work on brand new equipment costing well into 7 figures.

    All electronics no matter how complex or expensive have the ability to glitch out occasionally 
  • Yes, it’s a known issue with some recent X1s. Usually related to the dual-clutch gearbox or driveshafts. If the dealer denies it, push through with BMW UK and keep everything documented.
