Another bad computer i guess. They reprogrammed the computer on my 535 around 3500 miles. Every since then i have been getting the TPM sensor on the I-drive and dash, but everything is okay with the tires. Had started to get use to it. This morning, I crunk up the car to warm up before going to work, and the whole system is confused. I dont have "memory keys" to move the seats and when i crunk it up this morning, the seats moved, radio changed, sunroof open and closed and wipers came on as well. After wondering whats going on, my I-drive starts displaying a million error messages. Engine oil below minimum level, washer fluid low, rear brake pad - 20miles; service overdue. I cut the car off and let it set for a few minutes, crunk it again and everything happened again in the same order!! I dont know if its the computer or what. I took a chance and drove it all the way to work, car still runs fine. The error messages stayed the entire time, but the wipers stopped working a few times and so did my sunroof. The car has 10,000 or so miles and im glad its a company car, because it definelty has a computer issue of some kind.

I took it to the Performance Center and the guy said that he doesnt know whats causing it act a fool like this. I am supposed to check back next Monday on it.

Out of all the 08 5 series i have had this one had given me trouble since day 1!

They gave me a 335i Sedan - Jet Black / Black with 990 miles

Im convinced that BMW gives you gray cars. Cars they dont want sold to the public so dump them on the employees. Ive never heard of 1 person with so many issues with so many different NEW BMW's. Also, I wonder how your employer would feel knowing you tell everyone how F'd up your new BMW's are. Cant possibly be a good thing. Then again, what do I know?
