There are rumors out there that BMW still havent fix the fuel pump problem in the new N55 turbo engine. If you are looking at the 2011 X3 xDrive35i model, I would wait until you know for sure the fuel pump problem is fixed.

With a new transmission, hopefully their transmission issue is no longer an issue. That was one of, if not the biggest, complaint I have seen about the outgoing X3. There seemed to be no work around.

There's more bad news for supply.
Lots of dealers got stiffed for the 2nd month in a row and NO allocation to build Q5's.
Being that it takes 3 momths to build and ship cars from Germany, there's going to be some serious supply problems in the next few months / 1st quarter of next year.

I think this is what is happening to me. I placed an order on Sept 25th and still don't think the order has gotten past the "IS Order Bank"...
Still waiting with no word from the dealer. I had really hoped to have this for my wife before the winter set in on the East Coast...

Are they custom building you a vehicle from scratch or are they just modifying a vehicle that's currently being built to your specifications?
