So far my voice command works good. Very useful when driving fast on express way.

we have a 3.5 week old X1 bought on the promo and there is an vibration in the steering wheel, kind of like an electric current. Its a bit more intense around 1.200 rpm..

yes, me too. whenever I'm parking it get a funny sound and often a violent vibration as though the car is resisting that I turn the wheel more.

do you have any vibration on the wheel? ours is quite pronounced and only when the motor is engaged (in neutral there is no vibration)

Re: Issues and problems with X1

really? lets meet up and compare...

Re: Issues and problems with X1

Never tried it in neutral but only during parking when I turn the steering all the way to the end, there is a funny sound with a little resistance. Will try later if there is any vibration though. Think there is a slight one.

X1 is a car with lots of problems. Hope BMW solve the problems in their facelift version.

too late for us!
I have read they are putting EPS in all cars, that should solve the slight but horrible vibration in the steering wheel. Maybe they should speak more to customers and headhunt some Audi and Mercedes engineers.

Audi and Merc engineers arent better too. VW worse. If you want reliability, buy Jap cars. Even Suzuki has lesser problems than the luxury continental brands. My previous Opel and Fords have no problems too.

Re: Issues and problems with X1

it's brand whore effect

just like someone said camry/accord is sibei comfy, sibei reliable, sibei value for money the 2.4 version comes with almost all fancy gadgets compare to bare bone e60. but the bragging rights of e60 is undenieable. mw says camry/accord vs e60 park at hotel lobby would recieved different treatment ... lolz
so, it depends on owner what he wants. and i'm a brand whore if not i could have gotten a suzuki swift sport for agility or camry/accord for comfy

Yeah. My 18i is 1.5yrs and really no problems so far. Just went for 2nd servicing.

The steering could be a little lighter and can use a little more power. A little more quieter engine and a slightly less bumpy ride would be nice.

Re: Issues and problems with X1

It's nt the exhaust tips. It's the N20 engine TC and DI. I also realize a lot of F10 520i with black tips.

Thanks bro,,,,but sorry i am not all that tech Savvy...so whats TC and DI? and how does that contribute to black residue on the exhaust...learning curve

Re: Issues and problems with X1

Hmm getting late. Turbo Charge and Direct Injection. You can try google for some technical details but what I observe is that generally cars that are TC+DI (like BMW N20 engine or those VW TSI engine) will get black soot at the exhaust.

Re: Issues and problems with X1

My observation is that new car will have a lot of carbon soot. 100km is enough to make it turn black. After run in about 2500km, the soot will reduce. At 3500km now, very little soot produced after my weekly mileage of 150km.
