Have my 05 545i in for the following:
PDC Fault
Dynamic steering fault
front brake screech like mad
sunroof wind noise (to be fixed per S
clutch pedal pops at bottom
door seals a noisy again (after replacement two months ago)
CE light on
Car's got 22K miles on it. HUH???? What's up with that? I know their not the mot reliable car in the world but come on, after so few miles??? It's a $65K car for crying out loud!!! Is this what I am to expect?
I ove the car and all but this seems a little much no?
Thanks,
Vince

IMHO - owning a BMW is like having a super hot supermodel type of girlfriend. She's hot, sexy, performs amazing, gets props from everyone, turns heads, but when something is wrong, it is NOT easy to deal with.

Yes, your problems are vast sy1616, but get them fixed - for free, with a loaner.
I have no problems with my new LCI, yet.
