| meme22 (555hp) | I had the same problem, just misfiring on the CY 8 like you said. When I drive slowly everything is fine, as soon as I step on it with more than 2 RPM it triggers a drive train malfunction. The first two times I took it to the dealer they told me they couldn't reproduce the problem. The other day, when I came back from the store, I step on it and the error message comes up: drivetrain malfunction. I was mad and showed it to the manager because the car was shaking like hell. I told them to keep the car for a month, if they have to until then I don't give a shit. The next day they called me. SA told me they replaced coil 8 and spark plug, it was fine. I hope it doesn't come back. Good luck

| cotton1 (511hp) | Quote: Originally posted by Bbmw535 Sounds like plugs, maybe coils. I'm not sure why they replaced everything. I had misfire problems twice and once the spark plugs were bad, the second time one of the coils was bad. A bad coil will ruin a good coil and a bad coil will ruin a good connector. They should usually be replaced together if one has failed.

| abdellah (771hp) | I will exclude plugs and coils as they are all new.

| nukeitfromorbit (283hp) | It can be anything from MAF, connectors, coils or injectors. You must have the codes read using BMW-compatible software, otherwise the diagnosis is a disaster.

| thuglife7 (885hp) | HPFP should be replaced. I had the same problem after replacing coils, connectors and injectors. So far so good, I hope this helps.

| motorolla (67hp) | I haven't seen an insurance company sell directly to a dealer in over 20 years. Every insurance company I deal with sends the vehicles to insurance auction houses like COPART, IAA, etc. The only way to get a vehicle is to have the owner buy it back from the insurance company and then buy it from him before the title changes hands. In most states, 65% of the book value represents the total value of the vehicle. So for argument's sake let's say you have a car worth $20,000, it was in an accident and the damage was around 11,000, even if you are under 65% there is a high chance that additional repair will be required could be so the insurance company will pay out the full amount and sell it to the highest bidder. For water damage, I have seen it account for 35-40% of the damage overall, and even less for salt water. I have purchased water damaged units before but they were taken apart. It is almost impossible to sell a junk title, most finance companies do not use it, and even more insurance companies do not offer full insurance coverage. I don't think the dealer is very honest about buying many cars from this insurance company. That's not how it works. Save your money

| pasta (220hp) | I would only buy this car if 1) you are getting a great deal, like 50% or less of the KBB value, and 2) you plan on driving this car to the grave. It will always have the brand title, so it will never come close to the resale value. And with water damage, you never know what will happen, so you'll need every dollar you can save to fix the problems. Do your due diligence and obtain comprehensive and complete documentation of what happened and what was repaired/replaced.

| ccrusr (60hp) | Run away from the car as fast as you can! You will regret this purchase for a long time if you decide to take the plunge (like the car already did).!)

There's a reason an insurance company paid +/- $30,000 out of pocket to the original owner, and it's certainly not a simple claim. Pay an additional 3,000 to 5,000 euros and get a clean F10 title with similar features and live happily in life. This is wise advice, you would do well to heed it.

| Quiet Clutch (173hp) | Quote: Originally written by Swish. I'm seriously thinking about it, which might sound crazy, but listen to me before you crucify me. The car is a 2013 M-Sport with almost every option imaginable and only 27,000 on the clock. It's a dealer who bought it from an insurance company that paid a "water damage" claim. Yes, that put me off a bit, but the car is immaculate and everything works. There are lots of pictures and they basically challenge me to find evidence of water damage. They claim that they checked it from the ground up and took it for a test drive before purchasing (which makes sense). They also claim that everything works exactly as it should, navigation, lane departure warning, backup camera, heated front and rear seats...everything. There is no guarantee (I wonder if Route 66 would offer one?) and the price is only $24,900. I would appreciate your opinion as well as the price and warranty concerns. Thank you in advance. I wish I never bought a BMW with collision coverage. They are far too sensitive, once they start braking they don't stop. This is my personal experience. Others may think differently.

I was (unnoticed) offered prices between $21,000 and $24,000, which is a joke considering how nice the car is. It is basically in new condition with full paint correction and remaining CPO warranty until April 2019 or of course 100,000 miles. The value of these cars appears to have dropped in just 12 months. I paid $38,000 for it at BMW of Wilmington a year ago with 38,000 miles in stock condition, and I feel its condition and appearance have improved significantly since then. I can't imagine the car losing $17,000 in value in a year. If this continues I would have to donate it in two years lol...just terrible. Still, I think $34,000 to $35,000 is a fair price for your device.

I don't know where it is for a BMW per se, but I'm pretty sure it's well over the donation value. They offer you $24,000, advertise it for $33,000 (just a guess), and then take $32,000 (another guess), making the new owner think they've made a deal. Even the '14 we recently bought was listed for about $37.5 and we got it for $36,600. Since it was a lease return, I have no idea how much the dealer paid for the car, but I imagine it was around 30%.

| verity (565hp) | I'll pick it up next week. Bmw 550 X-Drive 2013 with 50,000 km Construction date: August 28, 2012. I have had the CPO for half a year, which was a requirement as I know that the engines can sometimes have problems. (My brother has a 750 that had the care package completed.) This car also had the care package completed. I'm excited and a little nervous, but I'm not keeping my car for more than 3 years. So I hope I didn't torture myself. The car has been a single owner and has always been serviced by the dealer. The car is Carbon Black Metallic, it's growing on me - M package, Tech package, Executive package, BMW apps, comfort seats, active seats, 4-zone air conditioning, lane departure warning, lane warning, HUD and Fireline anthracite decor. Sorry for the bad photos from the dealer! I'm looking forward to picking it up next week. I think the first things on the list: tint - 20% all around, exhaust flap open coding - navigation update and a few other features that need to be activated. Changing the grille, in contrast to matt black, chrome surrounding the black slats, high-gloss black, or the new M dual-fin design. IF anyone has recommendations on some items I should add to my list?

| x-fibre (749hp) | Congratulations - I have a 2013 F10 with two less cylinders but the same exterior and interior and most of the same features. I picked mine up from Elite BMW. I'm a little surprised that your car doesn't have auto stop/start, but it's clear from the picture of your dashboard that you don't have the button under the start button that disables auto stop/start. Be sure to have the matching color front reflector replaced. I just made mine and should have done it a long time ago - it's very easy to make. I'm not a fan of the black look, but I like the black slats on the front grills with the chrome surround. Another great upgrade is changing the headlight switch to the European version with rear fog light button. This will activate your rear fog lights without requiring any further work and is very useful in fog and heavy rain. The trick is to only use it when you need it, otherwise you'll piss off everyone behind you. This role is a mandatory requirement in Belgium for good reason. As for the “Eh” thing, yes, I am also guilty as charged. On the other hand, you all have different speech patterns in the South, I don't know. That's what I'm talking about.

So the damn N63 engine is a joke. Now you can get one from 2011 to 2013 for about $17,000 to $26,000, and it once cost $82,000. What is BMW doing? >,>,? The F10 value drops like baby shit! Don't get me wrong, I like BMW, I like how the F10 looks, but if you make a mistake when buying a first series car it really messes up the bank. The 550i presents many problems...from the time I had my car to now the cost of maintenance is well over $6,000.00. I should purchase the CPO warranty after my factory warranty when it expires. Well, too late for this shit... right now my car has 62,000 miles. N63 is a damn time bomb, it can break at any time. I've been stranded on the highway many times, malfunctions galore and I wish my dashboard a Merry Christmas... No wonder a lot of them are being recalled and lemons are being bought back. N63

If you think our resale value is bad, take a look at the S-Class! This is how it normally works. Unless you buy an exotic car, the more you spend, the more it will lose value.

Well, it all depends on the years and mileage... any car will depreciate over time... only classic cars survive at this point. As new cars go into production, old cars lose value dramatically. Sedans, SUVs, and trucks are more likely to depreciate in value more quickly than sports cars.

The Honda Civic is one of the cars with the lowest depreciation. Cars are not investments. In general, German luxury cars have some of the worst resale values. They are easily replaceable, especially when new models come onto the market. No one is going to pay $40,000 for a 6 year old car with no warranty when the new model can be had for $15,000 to $20,000 more. Therefore, the value is written off so that BMW can get you a new model.

Luckily I got them used for about 700 and bought the upgrade filters and Sergey painted them black for me. While it's not the worst sounding car on the forum, it's good enough, but the dual ECMs make it difficult to install on the TU. The driver's side is narrower than a... I want to install multiple Dinan intercoolers but need to push in the pipe to fit the larger intercooler. I believe there are pictures of it on my profile.

If you ever get into a collusion on the front end, it doesn't matter how many strut bars or radiator mounts you have, you're still going to hit your buddy hard. The M5 does not use the radiator mount. But thank you for your concern. As far as you know where you want to go, you shouldn't be too worried about hitting anything or making an arrangement with the front end.

The M5 has some Suttle differences, but you're right too. But I don't like removing structural things that could save my life in a crappy accident. I live in the south suburbs of Chicago and travel on I-80 a lot. Last Wednesday there were three accidents within a 4 mile radius. So I'm confident in my driving skills, but there are fools out there.

| 30091988 (105hp) | [spyroz,21448311] a lot of miss information from you in this thread... I told you that this design you originally posted gave me codes and people didn't like not having radiator support. Not once have I told you that the current design has any flaws. You asked me to send you my turbo mount so you could build your own intake from turbos up and I told you that I no longer have it and that I was having code problems with that design. That being said, intake manifolds do not give codes, however if you have oil build up in your intake manifolds sooner or later codes will be issued on N63 intakes or stock intakes. Regarding 550Reasons mentioning that her boyfriend has a lot of codes, can you PM me the name? Was it Silvershore? Because I help every single person figure out their problems and it always has nothing to do with the medication.

They took care of me and answered every question whenever I had a problem, even those that had nothing to do with the medication. I can't say anything negative about n63intakes.
