From what you say, and what I saw in the video, it seems like this only happens once after startup. Seems normal to me as the engine is settling into it's idle.

Why won't you use the parking brake? IIRC, the manual even says to always use it. I also believe not using it is bad for the transmission. In my 27 yrs of driving manual transmissions, I have...

I have found that the quicker I shift (at slightly higher rpm's), the smoother the 1-2 shift....especially with the AC on. If I try to make it smoother by being deliberate, it makes it worse.

We just had our's repaired last week. I love the no-duductible insurance fix. As other's have said, it looks like bug residue....not perfect, but acceptable.

The only ethanol free pumps I know of are at marinas. Since ethanol attracts water molecules, gas pumps for marine use tend to be ethanol free.

Trading the car in due to this is a very irrational thing to do. My guess is the PO hit something or hit the fog light, and repaired it himself to avoid a penalty at lease turn in, or trade it in...

Having had an X3 with sports pkg, the 19's will be a rough ride. 18's were good with the stiffer suspension, but it was still a pretty firm ride. If you have smooth roads it shouldn't be a problem,...

I was thinking the same thing. It seems to reason since the problem started after tire replacement, something might have occurred at the tire shop. Who did you go to to replace the tires?

Hood lines up with the fenders pretty well, so I would assume the front bumper/fascia needs to be aligned properly.

Can't tell you how long 30% will last, but 6 years out of the original battery is good. I replaced one in an X3 we used to have after 5 years.

Do you have the AC on? When the compressor kicks in, the idle will drop a bit.

Sorry to hear about your issue. It does seem odd that a timing chain broke due to an AC compressor failing. Since your car is at the BMW Store, head down the road to an INDY shop called Just BMW. ...

Not normal. Our 328i X-drive is very quiet, and buttery smooth. Try the next closest dealer to see what they have to say about it.

In 2008, we got our X3 certified for $1500. Now I know prices have gone up, I just don't know how much. That's why I said "at least".

I wouldn't. If you keep the car long enough, you can get it done at a later date. You have until the car reaches the end of the original warranty to do so. I wouldn't imagine the extra "bump" in...

Try having someone pull the release while you try to raise the bonnet. If that doesn't work, you may need to see a dealer.

White/sweet smelling smoke is head gasket. Grayish-white smoke is burning oil which usually means new rings (at least). How many miles on the car?
