    Hey guys, I have 2015 BMW 528i with 66k miles. About 2 months ago I went to turn the car on and when I put it in drive the car started vibrating very noticeably it freaked me out. No check engine light. It doesn’t vibrate a lot when driving but if the car is cold it will vibrate at idle. When...
  2. E90/E91/E92/E93 (2006 - 2013)
    Good time of the day guys, Got E92 325i manual and driving it around in UK (did 121k miles so far). After ~100 miles drive recently noticed that there is no hot air coming from the air vents (outside temp was around 5 degrees C according to the cluster). After some more diagnosis, realised that...

    Hi there guys! I'll put you in context: I have my Zed since 2015, I spend a lot of money on him, it has a radiator and thermostat changed 30,000 km ago, I added a viscous ... not to mention a thousand more things. I LIVE WITH PANIC TO WHICH I OVERHEAT, it has happened to me three times...

    2004 M54 330i petrol auto Greetings all from a newbie, just looking for some more check points to a non starting engine. Symptoms have gradually got worse over several weeks and now failing to start with continous cranking. I've listed checks and parts replaced so far as follows: Difficult...

    Hi All, I've got a bmw 320i e90 2009 Lci model that has an N42N engine. These engines are common for value steam seal leaks. I've replaces the value steams seals on my engine at 200,000km and the oil levels are stable between the service intervals. It got a starting issue when the engine is...
  6. X5 E53 (1999 - 2006)
    Hello, I've started experiencing this problem about 2 weeks ago, whenever I start the car in the morning and try to turn the wheel it produces a massive screeching noise. The thing is that the noise usually is no longer produced when the car is running at operational temperature, just when it...
  7. X5 E70 (2007 - 2013)
    I have an 08 x5 with ~90K miles on it. I just got an oil change with synthetic oil recently. Last night I drove the vehicle and it was fine. This morning, it was -10F and when I went to start my car, it started up pretty easily but the engine was misfiring badly and I got the check engine...
  8. F10 / F11 (2011 - 2016)
    We are planning on leaving Wednesday night for a long trip... SE Minnesota to SW Florida. I'll be in my 2015 X5 (F10), 60K miles. The car runs great, has new tires, and was just checked out by the shop. Here's the thing... the forecast temperature at the time we're planning on leaving is 34...
  9. F30 / F31 / F32 / F33 / F34 / F36 (2012 - current)
    So I have read about the 'adaptive transmission reset' on the E90 models... wondering if the F30s have a similar reset function. I have noticed that my 328 shifts rough from 1st to 2nd when the car is cold and I am pulling away at low speeds. It is super annoying and it is almost like the...

    I have a 2002 325I that runs very well except when cold. Start up is perfect, rpm runs up to about 1200rpm then goes to 500rpm, rough idle and stalls within 5-10 seconds. I can rev the engine, keep it running and once it is warmed up it runs like a top. Any suggestions? Tom
  11. X5 E70 (2007 - 2013)
    Hey everyone. I have a 2008 X5 4.8i E70. When heat is turned on it will blow hot on the passenger side and cold on the driver's side face and foot vents. This remains constant. The cold air coming from the driver's side seems to be whatever the outside temperature is (not confirmed). A/C...
  12. F30 / F31 / F32 / F33 / F34 / F36 (2012 - current)
    Hi there, Searched this forum and didn't find similar posts so here goes... F30 with N26 - starts right up on a cold morning and stalls out. Start it again...stalls again. Usually stays running after the 3rd or 4th try. Anybody else?
  13. E63 / E64 6 Series (2004 - 2010)
    I have a 2006 650i convertible. Beautiful car and I love it, most of the time. I was doing some work in my garage that caused be to put the car outside for a couple of days, in North Carolina. Temps dropped below freezing and the car would not start. Battery good, engine turned over fine...
  14. X3 E83 (2004 - 2010)

  15. E39 (1997 - 2003)
    I have been all over Google but no help. The center hot/cold vent on my 2002 BMW 530i has a cable that goes down and connects to this mystery part. The part (white in this photo) adjusts the hot cold mix depending on the attached cable position. Mine is seized up and won't move. Removing the...

    Hello everyone. I am a new BMW owner and also new to this forum. I have a 2013 BMW 328i XDrive with 42,000 miles. Here in western Ohio it got down to 3 degrees last night and a high of 10 during the day today. When I got to work and shut the car off I got a message on my display that read...
  17. 7 Series - F01 / F02 / F03 / F04 (2008 - 2015)
    This is my first ever deisel car, its a F02 730LD. It seems a bit rough in the really cold mornings in terms of shifting gears and also the engine stalled once it was very cold (subzero). Drives fine with no issues otherwise. Also the drive smoothens out after a few minutes of the car running...
  18. E90/E91/E92/E93 (2006 - 2013)
    TL;DR: getting P1017 code and misfires, replaced eccentric shaft sensor and a couple coils, still getting P1017 and misfires. Help. After being a longtime lurker I've decided to make an account in hopes of getting some help with some issues I've been having with my 2008 BMW 328i (6spd). The...
  19. E60 / E61 (2004 - 2010)
    Hi Everyone, I have a 2006 530XI which has a mileage of 82K at this time. It has been maintained well with up to date on all maintenance issues. Since the last two years, I have been noticing that the car won't heat up or cool instantly like a new car or a car with that much mileage usually...
  20. E90/E91/E92/E93 (2006 - 2013)
    I have been looking around at ways to give my 2009 328xi a few extra hp. I was wondering if anyone has installed an aftermarket cold air intake and could tell me if you can feel any difference in power or if it would be mostly just a sound increase. Even if it would just be an increase in sound...
