Although they are a fantastic car to drive I'm rapidly going off them. We're having lots of reliability issues at present & I know we drive em hard but its getting ridiculous now. Beemer 1 = New inlet manifold, new power steering rack, crankshaft pully fell off :o multiple issues with the DPF which is really annoying as it keeps putting the car into limp mode, injection problems, fuel pump failure......
Beemer 2= lights keep shorting, had new side light & circuit board at £300, rear air-suspension failed 3 times now, electronic stability failed twice, DPF faults.....AGAIN! New clutch & DMF
Beemer 3= airsuspension faults X 3, electronic stability fault, battery keeps draining itself (nothing to do with any of our equipment) several times it won't start, why you ask only him upstairs knows ::) ::) ::)
They go off to the dealers to be fixed and we don't see em for at least 2 weeks, and in all they're only just about 18 months old, with 37k, 32k, & 39k Glad I ain't payin the bill!!!

I know it's not something you can request, but most owners who know their stuff have the DPF removed.
DMF's are notoriously shite on any car, especially a car which is driven hard.

I know what ya mean Broomie, but if that was all that was wrong I wouldn't be that bothered but all the other faults??? ::) ::) ::)

Yes, SOME 3/5 (and 1 series) are bolted together in India, but they are for the Indian market. None of the parts are manufactured in Inida AFAIK. They just bolt it together as a kit.
None of these cars are exported for European sale.

Don't blame you. All these new robots must be taking a toll on the human staff they have there.
