My Ride: 2007 530i
2010 X5
I've tried couple of different searches and was unable to find what I was looking for. If I missed it, please point me in the right direction.
The goal of this post is to gather as much information as possible on one thread. I'm coming up towards the end of the warrenty. If you've had repairs on your 2007 530i, I would like to hear about it. I'm hoping to proactivly address before expiration. Thanks in advance for all your help.
I'll start:
Low or rough idle during stop or right before stop.
radio malfunction
passenger mirror and steering wheel not coming back to memory (known issue... is there a fix?)
squeaky window during operation

I have only had 3 problems that were all fixed under warranty:
- iDrive controller module was defective from factory and replaced
- Door seals replaced
- Sunroof seal replaced twice, second time new part was installed which permanently fixed the problem
Overall I'm happy it's been pretty reliable.
