| My 530d has had a host of problems and several still have to be corrected:
On delivery:
1. One park distance control sensor in the front was faulty
2. I did not receive the latest Satelite Navigation CD
3. The battery was flat
(How it passed PDI, I am clueless)
Four months later, the park distance control was fixed last week and I'm still waiting on my CD
Since I have had the car:
1. The drivers window and door rattle on bumpy roads
2. The car creaks (body shift) when I reverse out of my drive way
3. The run flat tyre indictator failed on the last software upgrade. Germany is aware of the problem and releasing a software patch next month
4. BMW were unable to wheel alignment on my car as I chose the largest tyres possible on the car and their equiptment was not designed to work with such large tyres
5. The satelite navigation system is inferior to that of the 3 series, often giving 300 metres (300 yards) warning before having to change 6 lanes to take an off ramp. The 3 series gave 1km (3/4 mile warning)
6. My eletric fold in mirrors no longer fold in after the last software upgrade
7. The seat memory and mirror memory go slightly out of sync from time to time, where a mirror is pointing somewhere that shows me no back view (not be confused with auto dip, which I switched off)
8. Brake pads required an early change, BMW sorted out
9. The hood would not close after the first service. Required 3 attempts to correct the problem with a loose something that keeps it shut
Irritations:
1. One must use the Idrive to adjust aircon settings. There is more then enough place on the dash for it. The driver must nearly drive off the road to turn from aircon cold to aircon hot.
2. The steering wheel hides the park lights switch at my height
3. Switching from Radio to CD requires Idrive and distraction
4. Satilite navigation CD takes up the front loader. On the 3 series it is in the trunk.
That's about all I can remember at the moment. The car has to go back for some more work. Hopefully BMW can correct the problems and I can have a fully working car. |
