| robby (313hp) | I agree that having both models is a bit absurd - I have to admit I bought the 550 for my wife. They have different colors though, haha.
|
| BimmerOwner (893hp) | Attach the badge if you want... But I think when you start putting them in places where they don't belong (like in the picture) the problem becomes bigger and looks tacky. Put it where it belongs on Euro models and I agree with you. When I put it where it doesn't belong, I feel completely different.

| blankstar43 (377hp) | I really think we're all missing the point of the original post - what to do with the pointless and out of place fender trim on an LCI M Sport 5 Series. I have both a '14 M5 and a '14 550 M Sport - WHY on earth did BMW leave this trim at the beginning? If they went so far as to redesign the mirror and the cheap looking plastic piece that replaced the original fender signal, why couldn't they have just made the fender without the hole or mount of the signal on the fender? If so, I could better understand why BMW still has the hole there. This one small area of the LCI 5 series bothered me and I've been trying to find ways to improve it - or at least make it useful. Any idea why it's still there? Is there a version of an LCI car produced for the world that still uses the signal? If not, can I only assume that BMW didn't want to change the design of the fender parts for replacement or cost cutting measures? But the mirror is different. Why not remove the unnecessary part and the hole completely? In my opinion, this is a bad decision - it sounds like GM or Ford are doing something mid-cycle!

True, but maybe it's the automatic parking function (I forgot the name!). Interesting, why do you have an M5 and a 550, lucky man, but is there a big difference that you need both or are there two of them? You? Not criticism, just genuine interest

| 171293 (580hp) | Does anyone need to replace their windshield? I'm asking this because they (the dealership and body shop) are having trouble figuring out what glass to put on my car. 2013 with HUD... I can't imagine it being that difficult but... it was a nightmare to say the least, I don't even want to start...
|
| 280395 (407hp) | Go to realoem.com and enter your Vin. There are many windshields based on options but not difficult to browse.
|
| handsome1 (116hp) | It's not difficult. The dealer should be able to figure it out fairly easily. We do them all the time at my dealer. It should display correctly when your VIN is used to look up the part. There is a special windshield for HUD.
|
| morgan18 (214hp) | They put a windshield that distorts my HUD and my HUD is literally invisible in daylight or bright light. The dealer claims that this is indeed the correct windshield, although another dealer has confirmed that this is NOT the case. I've been at this for over 2 weeks now, ranging from it being the shops fault and not the dealer's problem to "We made a mistake, we'll get you the right lens" to "Now again, according to BMWNA It's the right glass and all that could be avoided if you had the work done at the dealer. There is most likely a problem with the rain sensor installation that is causing the HUD to not work properly. I have literally spent countless days trying to resolve the issue with the most horrible customer service I have ever received for anything in my entire life... The worst part of the whole thing is that I was driving my new car to mine over the holidays I was driving with my family and so I'm not even home yet, and I don't want to take my car back, especially because the dealer is going back and forth between taking responsibility and not taking responsibility. I'm so glad I didn't take them up on their offer of a ride home and they refunded me and have the work done somewhere else. I think they just wanted me to leave so they could get rid of the problem...

| vennids (35hp) | The HUD is reflected on both the inner and outer layers of the windshield to provide a clear overall view. In your case there are two possible problems: If the windshield is the wrong one, it doesn't have the proper reflective surfaces, and all you will see is a bad (low intensity) reflection of the display on the HUD transmitter in the dashboard . If the windshield is not exactly the same distance from the emitter (this could be because the shape of the glass is not the same or it is simply a thicker layer of adhesive), the display will be blurry. If this is the case, you can refocus the emitter to get a sharper display.

This was the older M57 engine, which was nearing the end of its life and did not offer sufficient fuel efficiency benefits over similarly powered gasoline engines to justify its premium (at least for many people). Quote: It would be stupid to do that again. 328d and 320d maybe. In fact, it wouldn't make sense to use the M57, but the N57 that this thread is about, found in the F10 and F15, could be compelling in the F30. But only if they called it 330d and kept the price below a 335i like in the SERIES. It probably wouldn't perform as well as the flagship 335d. By the way, we already have a 328d in case you didn't know. It uses the N47 4-cylinder as found in the ROW 320d. Apparently Ward's felt the GM diesel deserved more, probably due to the price - at which it is more powerful than the VAG offering.

| qwqw (551hp) | M235i I tend to disagree amigo, the car sold well in some areas, the ONLY problem with this car is the DAMN exhaust systems which include the stupid DPF and urea tank. That's the Achilles tendon for these cars, the twin Trubo I6 is an amazing engine that has been in production for over 13 years and has been modified accordingly. People in Europe have already driven over 200,000 with it, I have one and trust me, my only regret is I realized I didn't order M

| angie23 (608hp) | I can't believe the 335d still hasn't been reviewed by any magazines. Simply confusing

No sign of reviews, but the Alpina D3 has been reviewed by several magazines.

| fgtkmcbyrf (495hp) | Oh look... the normally aspirated American pushrod V8 takes the win. So much for the haters and their old, inferior technology nonsense.
|
| cmoney (826hp) | So that was the N57N with a single turbo. Not the twin-turbo N57Z or the three-turbo N57X?

| puredrive (672hp) | Quote: Originally written by Asbjorn So this was the N57N with a single turbo. Not the twin-turbo N57Z or the three-turbo N57X? Correct. The latter two are not available in the USA. By the way, the tri-turbo version is called N57S.

This argument always makes me angry, considering OHC engines predate pushrods by several decades. Which is again the older technology??

| babyboo! (827hp) | Quote: Originally posted by ///M235i Not exactly the same engine, but wasn't there an E90 335d offering in the US before... and no one bought it? This was the older M57 engine, which was nearing the end of its life and did not offer sufficient fuel efficiency benefits over similarly powered gasoline engines to justify its premium (at least for many people). Quote: It would be stupid to do that again. 328d and 320d maybe. In fact, it wouldn't make sense to use the M57, but the N57 that this thread is about, found in the F10 and F15, could be compelling in the F30. But only if they called it 330d and kept the price below a 335i like in the SERIES. It probably wouldn't perform as well as the flagship 335d. By the way, we already have a 328d in case you didn't know. It uses the N47 4-cylinder as found in the ROW 320d. Apparently Ward's felt the GM diesel deserved more, probably due to the price - at which it is more powerful than the VAG offering.
