Subject: Request for Refund on Defective 2025 BMW X7 Hello, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out regarding ongoing issues with my 2025 BMW X7, which I purchased new. Shortly after purchase, I noticed that cavity fluid began leaking from all four doors and the tailgate. I contacted BMW, and they instructed me to take the vehicle to the service center at the dealership where I made the purchase. The dealership kept the car for 10 days, and when I picked it up, I noticed that the cavity fluid had damaged the paint on the bottom of the doors. I immediately brought this to the service representative’s attention, and they asked me to leave the vehicle again, sending it to the body shop for repairs. After 7 days, I collected the car, but unfortunately, within two weeks, the cavity fluid began leaking again in the same areas. I returned the vehicle to the service center for the third time, and as of today, it has been another 10 days without receiving the vehicle back. Given the persistent nature of this issue, I contacted BMW to request a return of the vehicle and a refund, but I have not had any success with this request. If I am unable to resolve this matter soon, I may need to consider hiring legal representation to pursue a solution. I would appreciate your prompt assistance in resolving this matter. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2025 BMW X7 verdict →
