  1. F30 / F31 / F32 / F33 / F34 / F36 (2012 - current)
    I've experienced complete failure of the 8 speed steptronic sport transmission in my 2015 328d x-drive at 96,000km. Impeccably dealer maintained. Driven aggressively at times, but not abused. Any others experienced similar failure, or ideas regarding a cause? Repair expected to be over $20k.
  2. F30 / F31 / F32 / F33 / F34 / F36 (2012 - current)
    Hey all, I’ve been trying to research what this could be but I’ve been ending up in circles looking at what others have done to resolve this problem. I have a fully loaded 2014 328d xDrive with that kafas/idrive system When I try to accelerate in drive, if slow enough, the car dumps into park...
  3. E60 / E61 (2004 - 2010)
    Hi, I'm currently experiencing the pleasure of owning an old luxury car, a 2009 e60 525d, and I'm currently tackling the faults as they come. However, a few days ago I got the "Adaptive headlights failure" on my navi at the same time as I got "Cornering lights failure" in my Head-up. As I...
  4. 7 Series - E23 / E32 (1977 - 1994)
    Hi everyone! I don't know too much about turbo engines and am considering purchasing a series 7 1980 (E23) with a Callaway turbo that needs to be rebuilt. Would it be safe to continue driving if I do not plan to drive it too fast? I have seen a lot of warnings about not continuing to drive the...
  5. F10 / F11 (2011 - 2016)
    Hi I’m new in this community but I couldn’t find anything about my problem. A warning light for “Stabilisation failure” and then “imminent wipers failure” came up the screen. Unable to turn wipers off, indicators are not working - only hazard lights. Any ideas of what’s causing it - has...
  6. E46 (1999 - 2006)
    Picked up a lovely 316 Ti E46 2004 for a song and have gradually been working on it to bring it back to where it should be. Remote keys don't work and I presume its the coils inside but thought I'd just check the central locking fuses first (if it was going to be a simple fix then woop-de-doo)...
  7. E63 / E64 6 Series (2004 - 2010)
    Hi everyone! I've had a couple problems with my car. I REALLY love my car and do not want to get rid of it. First : sometimes when I'm driving the transmission malfunction light comes on and the car slows down to 40 mph. IIt will not drive any faster or change gears. Sometimes pulling off to...
  8. BMW Coding and Programming
    The Flat Tyre Monitor (RPA) failure just appeared on my iDrive screen this morning when I started the car. :cry: I read the code with ISTA+ / Rheingold and read the code "48070C" with a description of "Tyre failure indicator: Data implausible." I have read posts about changing the ABS...
  9. F30 / F31 / F32 / F33 / F34 / F36 (2012 - current)
    Hi All, Issue: I had to replace my headlamps on my F30 chassis 320i. Since then, i have noticed the "Vertical Aim control failure" issue. Solution: After a day of work and looking for solution finally i found it. The problem was with the vertical stepper motor. The new headlamp motor had...
  10. X5 E70 (2007 - 2013)
    So when i go to use my lift gate it will successfully unlatch but i have to physically pull it open. When i go to close it and i press the button inside the gate door all i hear is a click but then nothing happens and i end up having to physically close the gate also. Currently no codes are...
  11. E60 / E61 (2004 - 2010)
    Hello, On bmw e60 530i 2004 I got "Speedometer display malfunction" error showing up every time I start ignition and my digital speedometer always shows some number like 10-20km/h even car not moving. I suspect that this affect my fuel consumption numbers. What I hate tried to update DATEN...
  12. F30 / F31 / F32 / F33 / F34 / F36 (2012 - current)
    I currently own a BMW F30 (2014) 3 Series car which was bought in March 2015 at BMW Worcester. The car has around 8000 miles and was around 1 year old. I bought the car on a PCP contract from BMW Finance UK. I had the finance agreement for 2 years before I refinanced via my bank. I have had...

    I have a 2011 BMW 335xi Sedan that has approximately 49k miles on it (has a N55 Engine). Two days ago I noticed a knocking noise coming from the engine bay of the vehicle and called up my local BMW Dealer (BMW of Westmont in Illinois) and scheduled my car for an oil change and asked my service...
  14. BMW i3 I01 (2014 - 2020)
    I left my leased i3 parked while I was out of town for about 40 days . When I got back I experienced some problems trying to start the car sometimes. I finaly took it to my local bmw service center and to my surprise the 12 volt battery is dead and the service advisor is saying it's my fault so...
  15. E90/E91/E92/E93 (2006 - 2013)
    Hello Bimmer enthusiasts, I recently bought a cheap beat up 335i that I plan to keep for a very long time. I originally thought it was going to be a quick fix with the Crankshaft position code but little did I know about the cold start engine noise. When I start the car cold the RPMs fluctuate...
  16. X5 E70 (2007 - 2013)
    Hi, I'm new to the forum but I'm wondering if anyone knows anything, but weirdest thing happened driving back from vacation? I was driving on the motorway and got a warning light about tyre pressure. I pulled over and checked the tires r18 255/55. They all appeared fine, but likely the rear...

    I have a 06 E90 330i I bought with around 112k miles and have since almost gotten to 122k. I like the car but have some concerns with the transmission. On the way home (6 hour drive) at about 5.5 hours the transmission had trouble shifting into gear and the transmission warning came on. I...
  18. X5 F15 (2014 - 2018)
    Hello. Thought I'd share my recent catastrophic HPFP failure experience. I've posted this on the Diesel owner's section. Just had a HPFP failure on a 2014 X5d last Friday. 37,500 miles on the Odometer. Car stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. "Drivetrain Malfunction" with no power...
