| summerfun (615hp) | This is also posted on the F30 forum, but since F10 comes with an alarm as standard, I'll repeat the post here to see if there are any further clues. My F30 has been giving false alarms for some time now. The dealer has replaced the internal motion sensor (roof function unit) and tilt sensor with a siren, but the alarm continues to sound randomly. The technician said the panic function was triggered (based on ECU counters) but said the key fob was fine as the OEM key fob housing's metal clip was actually supposed to protect the panic button from accidental presses. It's been to the shop a few times and apart from a trigger on the service bay the problem couldn't be reproduced. The technician also suggested that before locking the vehicle, do a double press, i.e. turn off the engine and then turn off the ignition. I also tried pressing twice then locking twice (lock, unlock, lock again) but the problem still persists. Currently, every time I lock the door there is a 50-65% chance that the alarm will either go off within 1-2 minutes or the red nose will flash when I return to the car. Sometimes I'll be at the restaurant, home, or work for about an hour and see the alarm go off from a distance (e.g. more than 150 feet?) without anyone/car nearby . Has anyone experienced this at F??10?

I thought they advised the OP to press the lock button on the fob twice to turn off the motion sensor. Actually, if the OP wasn't advised to try this, then he should. This eliminates a problem with motion detection. OP: If your car is parked in a safe place, you can try disabling the motion detector. You can use RTM, but I'm pretty sure you need to press the fob's lock button twice. You will notice a strange flash on the clown's nose. If your problems disappear after disabling the motion sensor, this may be a helpful hint.

The sensor was replaced and was at the dealer three times. You are at a loss. Yes, there is a feature to turn off the motion sensor (in case you leave a pet in the car), but it defaults back to normal every time the car is unlocked. It cannot be disabled permanently.

| ryan20 (830hp) | On my older BMWs, the most common cause of random alarm activation was a faulty hood switch. Try unplugging the hood switch and see if the false alarms stop.

| yaya123 (446hp) | Quote: Originally posted by ezmaass OK, here's the update. In the last few days I have had four dealers bid on the 650xi GC. The best deal I got (price wise) was about $102,000 plus change - about $9,000 less than the MSRP of $111,000 as I had it configured. Okay, not bad. However, lease prices (and the used market) tell a scary story about this car's depreciation. In short: the depreciation is similar to that of the 7 series. Given that the 6GC's features are no different than my 550xi, the reasoning behind the switch is really just for (a) better looks/style/finish and (b) swapping it for something new. If I drove the 6GC for three years, it would easily cost me around $50,000 - which is hard to justify with just points A and B above. That's why I decided to just keep the 550xi for a few more years. As many of you have (wisely) suggested, I'll take a look at the new 5 when it's announced and just give it a bit more time. My 550xi now only has 16,000 miles on it and has another 1.5 year warranty, which also makes it harder to get rid of just yet. Thanks for the good advice, guys! Great choice. I was at the dealer today and test drove the new 7 Series (which will be pretty similar to the next generation 5 Series) and the 650 GC. Honestly, I prefer the buttons and shifter in the current F10. I'm not a big fan of the flat button feel and look. The matt black plastic interior parts and the steering wheel leather also appeared inferior. I have to say that I liked the touchscreen and driving feedback the most on the 7 Series. Felt just as nimble and quick as my 535i, even though it's bigger. In any case, I am personally convinced that the current 5 Series F10 generation is a beauty and offers a lot of driving fun. I just purchased a 2016 535i and have the urge to add an F10 M5 garage for storage in addition to my E46 M3. Enjoy this 550!

| luv2dance (361hp) | Is there a place that collects information about how to get ALL of your personal information out of your F10 when you sell it or give it away at the end of the lease? I'm thinking garage door codes, paired Bluetooth devices, previous destinations, saved music, custom settings for shortcuts, naming a service center, BMW Assist registration, and probably a few other things I'm not thinking of while writing this.

| Nikko97 (235hp) | After purchasing it, I had to manually delete the previous navigation destinations and at least 50 albums of crappy music one by one from my car's hard drive. It was particularly annoying because the GPS regularly and spontaneously tried to return me from San Antonio, TX to its home address in NYC. Even after I deleted it, it reappeared a few times and had to be deleted again. Gotta love iDrive. EDIT: To perform the delete process, you need to go to the album or waypoint, then click the options button and select “Delete”. I haven't found a way to mass delete navigation destinations or albums loaded on the hard drive.

You cannot cause the system to reverse park, only parallel parking. But with all the cameras around the car (even without them), it shouldn't be difficult to reverse park. The only thing I would need are the sensors because the car is way too long.

| gogetit (733hp) | I wonder if this feature is still offered. I'm on Build Your Own for the 535i xDrive and all I see is

| sherri1 (834hp) | It looks like you can't use the parking assistant on all xDrive models, interesting..

| froglegs1 (310hp) | Yes, it's a double-edged sword. On the one hand, there is a whole group of people crying that a selfish BMW racer needlessly endangered their lives. This same group happens to never look in the mirror, and even if they did, they wouldn't move to the right. This is what happens when the vast majority of road users do not take the activity seriously and are absolutely never responsible for someone blowing up around them. Since switching from my heavily modified old, nondescript 01 530i to this F10, I've noticed that three to four times as many people act like idiots to me, and for no other reason than that I have a new BMW drive. Driving habits haven't changed, but it definitely presents a big target for ignorant people who think you're rich or something.

| 21111984 (481hp) | 80,90 In our cars, even 100 can quickly happen, but that's too much traffic. The guy split cars like a motorcycle. But if a motorcycle can split cars, why can't cars? TouchГ© Either way, that was dangerously reckless
|
| water13 (484hp) | I saw the video and this guy was clearly driving dangerously. You just don't do that when traffic is heavy. One thing is if you want to do it on the open road but obviously you would seriously injure someone. I heard the city is trying to take away the driver's car. which in my opinion is too much. Fine him and everything, but don't take his car.

| rotaz (148hp) | I'll be honest, in my 20s, when racing was still underground, we did this all the time. This was long before the FnF days and when you're young you don't think about the consequences. But I think as you get older and start having kids, the reality comes out

| pizza1234 (353hp) | I live in NYC. My MPG is around 11-12 mpg. Is this normal??? I only have about 800 miles on the car so far. I don't push it too much except every now and then, but in New York you drive stop-and-go all the time. Does anyone else get numbers that low? I also have DHP in my car if that makes a difference.

| kianna1 (367hp) | Totally normal...I live in Singapore and mostly drive in the city. My average is 6 km/l, which I think equates to about 14 mpg.

|
| 210677 (269hp) | You don't buy a V8 because of its fuel economy. Driving in the city will easily get you into the 10-15 mpg range. The highway miles for my car were always over 20 mpg. I wouldn't worry too much about any problems. Check your tire pressure and air filters to squeeze out the extra mpg.
|
| nurbek (25hp) | I get about 18 mpg combined, doing 60/40 highway. Someone here wrote that the bypass valve was broken and when he fixed it his MPG went up.
|
| myspac3 (267hp) | I get about 21 mpg when driving mostly on the highway. I'm hoping it will go up a bit as the engine breaks in (but I'm definitely not expecting much since I didn't buy a monster V8 to get good gas mileage).).
|
| physics (524hp) | I'm in the Nassau County/Queens area and have an M5. I drive to work in Stamford and get about 16 mpg. You should get a little more than me. If your car is brand new, this could be normal for now. Wait until you have received the break-in period and your first old change to see if your consumption increases.

Thanks MPG is usually low for the first 5,000 miles of the car. Yes, you are in NYC, lots of stop-and-go, X-Drive and a V8 engine. I live in an urban area and get about 18 in the city and 30 on the highway unless I'm driving 80 mph then I get about 27. Overall fuel economy is now at 22.4 but that's after a road test. I haven't reset my computer in 2000 miles. Sport versus comfort and ecology will also play a big role, as will the way you drive. You have a powerful car and it is undoubtedly fun to have!

Thanks. Yes. Normal. I have studied this phenomenon carefully over the years. BMWs become more economical after 10,000 miles and again after about 30,000 miles. Plus, if you neglect the car, you're doing yourself a huge disservice in terms of fuel and oil consumption. The x50 is a monster. Drive safely, but as if you stole it. Finally, I am convinced that the engine management system has a program break that improves reliability while reducing economy.

| schnuffel (500hp) | On Saturday, June 18, 2016, I purchased a 2012 550 x-Drive in Dallas and immediately drove it home to Austin. Avg. Highway fuel economy was over 27 mpg. I was expecting a decline and was pleasantly surprised by the economy. My 2004 545i would get about 24.5 mpg. I haven't had it long enough to know what the average fuel economy will be in the city.
|
| 24091982 (947hp) | I find that driving is a lot less fun when I'm concerned with fuel consumption. However, driving conditions make a drastic difference. If you can roll 4,000 pounds, it takes a sip. Stop and go, or especially Go!... it sucks (fuel).)!

| sherbert (463hp) | I have just sold my Focus ST to buy a larger family car, the F11. I just saw that the Thule bars for the Focus (969 fender bars 127cm) are wider than the set for the BMW (961 118cm). Before I buy the set for the BMW... I realize I need new feet and mounting kit, but can't I just use the wider bars from the Focus and adjust accordingly? The reason I ask is because I have 4 x Thile 591 bike racks that fit on the car... I can't get away with just 3. Thanks for any info, Mike
