This has been the worst car-owning experience of my life.

This dealer refused to cover the cost of repair, and wanted $8,100 to address the issue, which is clearly a manufacturing defect. The second, most recent, issue was that the passenger seat belt alarm would go off even when nobody was sitting in the passenger seat. I received a letter in the mail saying that BMW had extended the warranty (my vehicle is now beyond the 5 years) for this issue, which had been identified as a manufacturing defect. I brought the vehicle in to have the issue fixed, and although they said that the issue and its cause was in fact the same one identified in the extended warranty letter, they would not cover it because the part number on my vehicle was different than the part number identified in the BMW bulletin. They wanted several thousand dollars to fix the issue, and when I refused they wanted several hundred dollars for the diagnostic services they had performed. Eventually they backed off of the diagnostic charge, but I had no luck getting them to perform the service that the extended warranty clearly stated they were supposed to perform. I would strongly advise anybody considering a BMW purchase to reconsider, but if you must have a BMW I would at least encourage you to not purchase through BMW of Rockville. More

On July 7, 2025, I brought our E-70 BMW X5 50i—originally purchased new from VOB BMW, now known as BMW of Rockville—in for scheduled maintenance. The service performed included an oil change as well as SDC c purchased new from VOB BMW, now known as BMW of Rockville—in for scheduled maintenance. The service performed included an oil change as well as SDC cooling system flushing and cleaning. Trusting in the expertise of the dealership where we first acquired several vehicles, I anticipated a smooth and routine experience. Upon returning home after the service, as I turned off the vehicle, I was taken aback to hear a noise emanating from the engine compartment—one that I had never encountered before. This noise persisted, lasting well beyond the usual cooling ticks and hums expected from a recently driven vehicle. Even after thirty minutes, the sound continued unabated. Concerned, I promptly contacted my BMW of Rockville service advisor and described the unusual noise in detail. My advisor responded by recommending that I monitor the vehicle for any warning lights or other indicators of mechanical issues. Though his advice was practical, I remained uneasy. The unfamiliar noise was persistent, distinct from any I had previously noticed, regardless of how hot the weather had been or how long the car had been driven. The following day, my wife drove the X5 to run an errand. Upon her return, the same noise recurred as soon as the vehicle was parked in the garage and shut off. Growing increasingly concerned, I attempted to reach my service advisor once again for further guidance or a possible inspection. Unfortunately, my calls went unanswered, and a follow-up text message yielded no response. In an effort to escalate the matter, I tried to contact the service manager, but again, I was unable to reach anyone. Amid these ongoing efforts to address a potentially urgent issue, an email arrived from BMW of Rockville. This communication, however, was not a response to my service concerns, but rather a promotional message offering the opportunity to purchase a new X5. Even more unexpectedly, I received a phone call the same day, also focused on selling me a new X5 vehicle. I could not help but wonder about the timing of these sales pitches. While it is entirely possible that these communications were part of routine dealership outreach, the coincidence struck me as noteworthy, given my unresolved service issue. At present, the unusual noise from our X5 remains unexplained, and my attempts to seek assistance from the dealership have gone unanswered. The juxtaposition of unaddressed service concerns and aggressive sales efforts has left me reflecting on the quality of customer care and communication. I continue to hope for a resolution and a return to the confidence I once felt in the brand and its dealership. More
