| 199111 (315hp) | I have a 2011 535i (purchased August 2010, N55 engine, no modifications, etc.) with barely 42,000 miles, of which maybe 100 miles were driven hard. The warranty ended in August 2014. Around February of this year (2015) I started shaking violently shortly after starting and the turbos wouldn't start. In 90% of cases, a simple reboot would bring everything back to normal. Then in May the car overheated (powertrain malfunction) and it turned out the coolant pump and thermostat needed to be replaced for $1,573. Not too shabby for a car I've paid $0 to maintain for the last five years. Completed! Then, earlier this month (December), the vibrations started becoming more frequent again and the car felt like it had a 900cc engine. It just had no momentum. I called BMW NA who told me to take it to the dealer and they would take care of it. The dealer diagnoses it and says the HPFP has crashed and it will cost about $1,800 + a new fuel rail. Of course BMW NA waives this and apologizes, we cannot cover anything. The retailer offered a 15% discount and I took it. An hour before I'm supposed to pick up the car, the dealer calls and says he has good news. It turns out that the HPFP has a CA specific 7 year/70,000 mile recall/warranty and my new bill is about $250 for a new low pressure sensor. Not too shabby. Anyway...post this here in case anyone else has problems like this. If you live in California and have paid to replace your car's HPFP, you should shop around and potentially get your money back.

| travel2 (561hp) | I caught mine before it completely failed and BMW replaced it under my CPO warranty. I had no riding problems, but on the first start of the day the crank times became longer than usual and was diagnosed with HPFP. Thanks for sharing, this will help someone.

| spyder (44hp) | What are the common symptoms other than a check engine light and drivetrain malfunction? The car has been idling a bit rough lately. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the change in the weather here in New York, it's rained quite a bit in the last 48 hours and it's been warm and humid.
|
| 07051979 (354hp) | Pramit, PM sent! My car is currently at the dealer due to an HPFP error and they are trying to charge me for the replacement. Do you have documentation regarding the specific CA-specific recall? Thanks!

However, they initially misdiagnosed the high pressure fuel sensor as the culprit, requiring two separate visits. I'm glad BMW is taking care of this issue after the warranty period. As a side note, the SA said the new pump (part number 13517616170) is the most current version and much more reliable. We'll see...

| romantica (924hp) | I installed a pair of Morimoto Elite HIDs in my fog lights. They look great, but the problem is that I only get an error message when they are turned off. As soon as I create it, the error message disappears. I bought the Morimotos from a forum member and he said he didn't get any error messages when he installed them. What could be the problem???

| tito123 (423hp) | This is pretty standard on CANBUS cars. The fault canceler prevents a fault during operation, but does not provide the resistance to turn off the fault when the lights are off

| 15091977 (436hp) | I have the exact same HID setup and mine has worked fine for almost a year. Took my car in for service and I'm not sure what they did but now only one side works (passenger side). I swapped the hardware from one side to the other, so I'm sure it's a software problem with the car. I still haven't solved it. Very annoying.

The stocks have been back for over a year now and are working perfectly. I tried reinstalling the HIDs twice with the same result. I'm convinced they updated something in the software and it no longer works. I really liked the HIDs, especially in the winter, so I can see potholes better. I have 3000,000 light bulbs, so they are yellow.

They won't fix the problem because from their perspective the fog lights work fine and don't give any error messages. If I get errors with an aftermarket product, it's my fault, not theirs.

| 6666661 (226hp) | Sorry listed in wrong category, added audio now. Firstly, I'm 100% committed to the device I want to go for for a variety of reasons: SQ potential, plug and play, proven track record with happy owners here, etc. By the way, if you or someone who knows someone , who is selling a used model, are interested in it, you have also opened a thread in the “Wanted” section. You also don't mind if it is shipped worldwide. My problem is that I'm caught between the two. I would like more performance than the 62 at 35 RMS per channel, but alternatively the 82 is almost 200 euros more, for 8 channels and much more RMS per channel, 55 RMS from my point of view. Don't beat me up, audiophiles, but I'll be running my Focal K2 passively as it's simpler and less messy and enough to keep me happy. So the question is whether I really need the 8 channels of the PP82DSP or whether it's worth the extra for more effective power. Any thoughts or suggestions on which one I should buy, by the way I chose one of these two devices so please don't let them influence me 5/6 channel pp62dsp http://www.audiotec-fischer.de/lng/en/pp - 62dsp.html Or the 8-channel pp82dsp http://www.audiotec-fischer.de/lng/e.../pp-82dsp.html

I would like more performance than the 62 at 35 RMS per channel, but alternatively the 82 is almost 200 euros more, for 8 channels and much more RMS per channel, 55 RMS from my point of view. Don't beat me up, audiophiles, but I'll be running my Focal K2 passively as it's simpler and less messy and enough to keep me happy. So the question is whether I really need the 8 channels of the PP82DSP or whether it's worth the extra for more effective power. Any thoughts or suggestions on which one I should buy, by the way I chose one of these two devices so please don't let them influence me 5/6 channel pp62dsp http://www.audiotec-fischer.de/lng/en/pp - 62dsp.html Or the 8-channel pp82dsp http://www.audiotec-fischer.de/lng/e.../pp-82dsp.html

| 220289 (819hp) | I suspect the 750i and 550i should be the same, I don't see why not because to fit M5 calipers on another F10 they all need the same bracket. So I guess it should be spot on, but don't quote me lol

They are for motorboating! Oh, and at the gym I look at them for 60 seconds during my rest periods between sets! I just noticed that during my approximately 1.5 hour workout, I spend 20 minutes staring at my breasts

| rummer (274hp) | I'm thinking about upgrading my brake set to M5 or Stoptech Big Brake. During my 10 hour drive from Calgary to Vancouver, the brake faded halfway through, which is quite dangerous (my C63 had a two-piece brake and would never fade). My car is also tuned with a stage 2.5.

I've read some pretty good reviews from people who have upgraded to the R1 concept setups

| 1chevy (391hp) | I haven't seen or heard of any significant problems with either the 35d or 30d variants. So one is more powerful, the other is probably more economical. Make your picture based on that, but I think in practice a smaller engine would suit you better if you want economy, so to me the 535d makes the most sense of the 3.0 engines.

Saving with 2.0 makes no sense, most drivers drive 150-160. 0.5 liter difference, shocking, 2.0 is complete nonsense, I've heard about the economy on the 520d but that doesn't seem to be true. Too little difference and no real economy with 2.0 diesel on F10. Thanks

| uxkaoscom (615hp) | I'd take 35d if you could find one, I've driven versions of both engines. My previous E70 had the 3.0sd engine, the twin turbo version in the 35d. This engine was an absolute beast! I remapped it so it made 350 hp and 700 Nm of torque. When my E70 was written off, I needed a car relatively quickly and couldn't find a 35d for sale. I found my current car, a 530d, which had a BMW performance package that offered about 25hp more than the standard model and was well equipped so I decided I couldn't wait any longer for a 35d. Both engines are great, the main difference for me is at the top. Both are the same right out of the box, but where the 30d lacked urgency once the turbo had done its job, the 35d has the second turbo that kicks in and just keeps pulling. To be honest, I drive in the city most of the time, so I don't really notice the difference from day to day. Especially when pulling away to overtake on a country road, I notice that I really miss the second turbo. You can take advantage of the smallest gaps in traffic to overtake.

| acer123 (878hp) | Besides buying a bulky key fob holder (I haven't found one I like yet), what is the best way to differentiate keys for two different drivers in one household? I've occasionally gotten the wrong key and adopted my wife's settings and vice versa.

| love2 (662hp) | Older BMW keys came with these little color-coded stickers that fit into a recess on the back of the keys. This way you could identify each key. I'm not sure if they still have that. I didn't buy my car new, so I wasn't surprised that I didn't receive any stickers when I purchased it.

Somewhat relevantly, this morning all my presets mysteriously disappeared. No problem with the keychain as I ran into the house to try the other keychain and it was still missing presets. Ironically, this happened the day after I posted this thread.

Ironically, this happened the day after I posted this thread. I'm pretty sure this happened because I initially started the car with the b button (no defaults). Brought key A out of the house, left key B in the house, turned off the engine and started it again, but the car must have cached the key B settings because the defaults didn't show up. However, when I got back in the car in the afternoon using button a, there were no problems... The default settings appeared again.
