Hi bros, While driving earlier, I couldn't key in any address on my navigation, then it lags and suddenly just went blank. After a few seconds, the iDrive restarted (while I'm driving). My F30 ride is already 4 year old. Anyone has similar issues or know anything? Thanks!

Just 1 set. plus labour and all that stuff....

The level of vibrations is like as if you lift off your pedal from the clutch pedal without depressing the accelerator in a manual car... before the car goes dead. 1 full day at PML.

Hello, stumbled on this thread. Haven't been online for a while. Yes. I drive a 320iED. As Jtek has said, firing piston was an issue, but warranty covered - the drivetrain signal light will come up. I changed 2 out of 4 whatever in the pistons thing. You might want to ask about this issue...

Hello folks, When do you all change battery? When it's dead or with time? I'm reaching 3 years already. Everyday scared I cannot start my car. hahaha. Also, must change to a BMW battery right.... it charges as we brake... unlike a "normal" battery? Or am I completely wrong? $800 plus for a...

I send it back to Performance Motors. Can't remember how much.... should be in the $200 region. not that ex. otherwise, can just send to any of the workshops listed in our forum here.

Hi Leonardob, It's a ignition coil fault. Have it replace. Actually since I posted it, it happened again. Twice. Replace another ignition coil. So, I'm running on 2 brand new ones and 2 old ones. Mechanic say not a life and death matter. Vehicle can still run, but very bad on acceleration and...

Hi Mayotedy, Did you send in for anymore checks? I was pm-ed by a bro here to send it in. Restarting the engine is merely resetting. Problem could be there, but system just erase it momentarily.

Ok. Yea... I'm pumping 95. Will try it! Thanks!

hi everyone, My F30 is reaching the 60k mark. As I was driving at about 30km/h, the idrive flashes this Drivetrain malfunction sign. My car didn't died, engine running but basically couldn't not move, as if it was on neutral gear. I switch off the engine and restart the car (in the middle of...

Hi, anyone has a loud exhaust vibration sound on cold start? This loud vrroomm sound is heard at the exhaust every morning when i start the car.....sound like I zhng my exhaust..... but has gone bad. Will tune down only when I engage to D mode. Asked PML....they say it's cold start...but...

Hi Bros, If you are looking to trade in your original F30 16" rims for an upgrade, please pm me. I need to swop back my 18" to the original 16" My parents are not frequent passengers and they prefer the cushy ride on 16". Thanks.

Hi there, can i check if you have the original 16" on your F30? I have a M6 replica rims set. Has been on my ride for about 2 years. Minor brushes. Want to swop back to 16" because of my parents who are frequent passengers.

That's what I thought.....but unfortunately, they don't fit. :(

Oh no..... realised that the part number is NOT THE SAME.... ends with 375 while ours ends with 357. Does that means that it's totally incompatible? Should I quickly return it now before they ship it? thanks.

Hi everyone, Do you know if the wipers sold are universal for lefthand or right hand drive? I bought a pair from a USA website for shipment, but forgot to check (sigh....). The part number is all correct, but it doesn't indicate if it's LHD or RHD. Anyone can shed some light here? I can...

Thanks Ryan, Yes. Will do servicing outside PML once warranty period is over. Just wondering during the warranty period, I'll be hitting my first major servicing. Are the prices at PML very expensive? Or I can do outside for 40,000km then return to PML again?

Hi, I own an F30 and have been doing my servicing at PML. So far so good (AD mah....). I'm reaching my first major servicing at 40,000km. I'm worried that PML charge very high prices for change of parts. I am still OK with the change of oil and regular servicing..but not too sure about the major...

Dear F30s, Do you encounter this problem when you start your car and the exhaust loud is really loud, like motorboat! and then the gear shifting is not very smooth as exiting carpark.... like the rpm will drag on the 1st gear before switching to 2nd gear. Is this normal? After driving a...

Re: Flat Tyre Monitor System Hi robberttan, I installed a third party TPMS because the one that elebest does which is in sync with the idrive is way too expensive for my budget. The current stock one (After my humble research) tells you only on a flat tyre or extremely low pressure - when...
