Headlight wiring loom insulation on both passenger and driver sides degrading heavily to the point of disintegration on touch. My driver side headlights have stopped working despite best attempts at isolating wires. I have received multiple headlight(low/DRL) warnings and errors because of this issue. It has been verified by countless independent mechanics and hobbyists on this generation of car with no aftermarket or OE solutions. I have since almost collided with objects in the road while driving at night due to this faulty manufacturing. I also fear for an electrical fire which is bound to happen due to exposed wiring. This has been happening for a few months with no improvement and further degradation. I have not had it inspected by BMW.
MAY 10, 2017 WE PURCHASED A 2010 BMW X5 WITH APPROX 70KMILES FROM EAST PROVIDENCE AUTO FOR $16,000. TWO DAYS LATER WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID LEAKED ONTO THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR, THE SUNROOF WOULDN'T CLOSE AND A BURNING OIL SMELL WAS COMING FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING, THE MECHANIC SAID THE HOSE FROM THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TANK WAS NEEDED REPLACEMENT, HE UNJAMMED THE SUNROOF AND ADDED 2 QUARTS OF OIL; HOWEVER, HE COULDN'T FIX ANYTHING. MAY 22 WE RETURNED B/C THE OIL LIGHT WAS ON AND THE BURNING OIL SMELL STILL EXISTED. BUT THE GARAGE WAS LOCKED. THE SALESMAN SAID WE WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK. MAY 24 WE RETURNED AFTER BLUE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. THE MECHANIC SAID THE OWNER WAS IN PORTUGAL FOR TWO WEEKS AND HE COULDN'T WORK ON THE VEHICLE WITHOUT PERMISSION.

I'M REPORTING A QUALITY ESCAPED ISSUE ON MOST OF BMW CARS EQUIPPED WITH REAR VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM. I'M MILD TO HOT DAYS, THE CAMERA STARTS TO FLICKER RAPIDLY AND SHORTLY IT BLANKS OFF INTERMITTENTLY. IT'S MORE NOTICEABLE ON HOT DAYS BUT NORMAL DURING COLD DAYS. THIS ISSUE IS ALSO ON MOST OF BMW CARS AND YET TO BE RECOGNIZED NOR RECALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER. IT'S UNFAIR FOR A CONSUMER TO PAY SO MUCH MONEY AND CAN'T CAN'T BE REIMBURSED FOR THE FIX THIS DISCREPANCY. I BELIEVE THE COST OF THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED BY A BMW DEALER. I FELL LIKE I'VE BEEN ROBBED OUT OF MY WALLET PAYING SO MUCH FOR ALL THESE ISSUES POPPING UP FROM TIME TO TIME ON SCAR THAT WAS NOT EVEN 75K MILES. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT THAT COULD LEAD TO CRASH DURING REVERSE DRIVING OR DURING PARALLEL PARKING
