When I first got my car, I didn't notice but there was no cap on my power steering fluid. I drove it for 700 miles before I noticed. Got the dealership to flush the system and get me a cap.

I have the 5-speed and 2nd to 3rd seems a bit rough. Also reverse is difficult to get into. They suggested I double clutch it... I think I'll just bring it back often enough with the same complaint, eventually they'll pull it out and check the tolerances.

Drivers side door speaker is dead. Seems the replacement speaker is on backorder and this dealership already has replaced 2 of the same speakers in other xBs.

I've had them replace the motor oil with Mobil1 0w-30, and the transmission fluid with Mobil1 75w-95 gear oil. Also the filter is a Mobil1 now. Things seem a little smoother but only marginally. I'm hoping the grounding kit from Randode will bring things into harmony at idle.

Anyone having similar issues?

 

I think the reverse problem everyone has. For me personally, 1st-2nd shift is difficult when racing, but when cruising, all gear shifts are fine.

You're doing the smart thing by taking it back to the dealer, don't pay for any of it. It's a new car, it's not supposed to have any problems.

 

Difficulty geting into reverse (non-syncronized gear) is caused by a linkage adjustment or the clutch is not fully disengaging.

I agree, make them fix it-double clutching is a band-aid and not the cure for the problem.
