After two failed attempts to find slow coolant leak at two other different shops, decided to bring the cat here despite the steep price for diagnosis hoping at least the official BMW service can find it. two other different shops, decided to bring the cat here despite the steep price for diagnosis hoping at least the official BMW service can find it. Mentioned to the service advisor my thoughts and some areas where I noticed the signs of leak but he didn't pay attention to it. So at my first visit technician blew the expansion tank with extra pressure saying that the problem was there (despite I never saw any single trace of coolant around it but saw in the other areas). Their estimate was... $1300!!! For expansion tank replacement! 3.5 hours! Lol. I took the car, replaced the tank by myself (despite I did it first time after watching videos on YT, it took me 40 minutes including bleeding), issue didn't go away - same slow leak. Brought the car second time. This time they at least lifted the car, took off the bottom cover and checked everything. On video technician clearly stated that "there was no active leak", they cleaned everything, bled the system again and suggest to keep an eye on it. Took the car back again. Started checking every morning, without and with engine running and finally found it, Replaced flat o-ring and... no leak anymore. They of course refused to refund. Basically I did their job which I paid $250 by myself. Don't go there for service! Save your money and time. Their technicians not better than any other in non-authorised shops. Just find a good mechanic. More

I took my X6 vehicle in for servicing at SM BMW before a road trip and. 100 miles later on the road trip, the engine light came on again. I took the X6 to another BMW servicing center and I was told that th road trip and. 100 miles later on the road trip, the engine light came on again. I took the X6 to another BMW servicing center and I was told that the cabin air filters should not have been replaced but rather the air filter, which has never been replaced,, should have been replaced and it hadn't been replaced as it was extremely dirty and filthy— choking the engine due to filth—which in turn triggered the check engine light. SM BMW did this full point check but what was the point since it didn’t see something simple as an air filter being extremely filthy and needed to be replace? At Jiffy Lube, one of the first things that they check is the air filter. I would have been better off going to Jiffy Lube and saved a lot of money and gotten better service for my X6. I suggest going to another BMW servicing center or Jiffy Lube for your BMW servicing! More
