I now notice the front suspension is very low to the ground and not lifting up.. I guess it's time for another trip to the dealer.

looks like you've got yourself a lemon. I'm not impressed by the build quality of our vehicles. I came from an X5 and noticed right away.

The funny thing is, if you go over to the BMW forums they say the same thing about the X5 and other BMW models. I guess the grass is always greener.
