Flyer31, thank you for the info. Will be sending my car for various repair works in another 2 weeks time, will add this to the list. Meanwhile will continue to monitor the coolant level and oil temp.

This fault message flashes on my car idrive display this afternoon while driving out for lunch. Check the coolant compartment, the level is good. The engine oil temperature was normal. Decided to continue to drive and monitor the oil temperature, everything is normal except the fault message...

Seems that many F10 have the same problem; premature failure in the engine mounting.

there is a mechanical release to that unlock your book manually

I send the car to PML for them to replace under warranty. Mileage at that time was 52k, if I recalled it correctly

Replaced the engine mountings for my ride yesterday at PML, everything went back to normal; vibration gone and the acceleration much smoother during the first 10 minutes.

Surprised with the short live of these mountings. I remember I only replaced the mountings for my previous ride (E60) at around 100k..

Will check with the service advisor when I send the car for servicing. Anyway, mine is 528 and has the same problem after 50k. Surprise that the mounting lasted only that long....

I have the same vibration problem @ every stoppages for the initial 10-15 minutes, the vibration reduced when I shift to parking or neutral. Once the oil temp hit the "normal" range, the vibration is gone. This problem started after 50k mark.

Re: Changes to COE: Government includes car engine power to categorisation Understand PML is going to increase all their car price by $6k, probably after today.

Re: F10 LCI features by model...got from PML I understand from my SE that currently they are selling 520 luxury at $247.8k and 528 luxury at $270.8 net.

Re: Did PML and PI drop the F10 price drastically last few days? Not quite true. When I first bought the E60 some 6 years back, there were not many 5-series on the road.

Re: Did PML and PI drop the F10 price drastically last few days? This is one of the reason I didn't buy the F10 to replace my old E60......

Re: F10 stock clearance promotion I made a counter offer to top up $130k with a max of $135K, a difference of some $8K from their last offer.

Re: F10 stock clearance promotion for my case, they offered me only $6K discount off the list price and trade in my 07 523 LCI for $105.8K i.e. need to top up $143K for the replacement. Offer not attractive enough for me to sign on the dotted lines.
