When driving the car during the day the infortainment digital display and dash board dims to almost black intermittentlymaking it dangerous and distracting to operate the vehicle if trying tousethe radio, the phone, ordriving miles mph and milage gauges.the screens brighten up if the driver window is opened up. But, it is impossible to do this when driving at freeway speeds. The problem has been complained about within two months of driving it offthe showroom floor in dec 2019.i have been told10times so far,that there is no fix for this problem.
Aeb triggers with no car in front of me. Dealer service rep tells me her x5 does it too, that the sensor is mounted too low and a pothole can set it off.advised to set to "late."did it again. Was raining last time and car went into minor skid.(driver behind me wasn't amused).has happened twice.

While driving, sunroof exploded
My rear trunk door opens on its own when i'm away from the car and it is locked.my coworkers have witnessed it while on break in the parking lot.i've taken it to the dealership to address and it has not happened as often, but it continues to happen, just not as frequently.
While driving home, we heard a loud noise (explosion) and after pulling off the road, we found the sun roof had a large hole. We were very confused as to why it happened, as the bmw x3 is only 9 months old.
Trunk opened by itself while vehicle was moving.
While driving, heard a explosion. Stop and the sunroof glass had exploted.
My husband was driving my infant son and i as we were merging onto the pa turnpike.we hit some small road debris at about 50-60 mph.the debris was so small that we didn't feel a bump or anything, just heard a loud bang and figured we had a typical blow out.the car did jerk to the left moderately but we were able to safely pull over.upon inspection, the wheel split in half across the entire circumference in the direction of roll.there was a small bend on the inside edge of the wheel at the point of impact but the split was several inches away from this damage.there was also no crack or split at the point of impact.we would have expected there to be a crack in this area perpendicular to the road but instead the crack was in the opposite direction, away from the damage.the tire had no damage to it and was the only thing holding the wheel together as it was in two separate pieces.the wheel contacted the brake caliper, rotor, and dust shield causing abrasions and dents in these parts.luckily, the brakes held together but this could have been much worse.my husband has seen bent wheels before but this looks like a possible casting problem with the alloy wheel itself as it literally sheared apart.there were 3 vehicles immediately behind us that struct the same debris and only suffered punctures and no broken wheels.the bmw is equipped with no spare but has run flat tires which were completely useless in this scenario.we would not have expected this kind of damage from some road debris, pothole, or any other normal circumstance.
