Hello all ...
Well... have had my 530i for a week now, and have begun to experience some problems...maybe somebody could shed some light on this? (i.e. maybe all I need is a software upgrade? something the stealer claimed they did but didn't?)
Here are a list of the problems I have encountered so far:
<1> Flat tire warning 3 times after reset, even though my tires were fine didn't lose pressure
<2> Window anti-trap malfunction
<3> Rough idle when engine warm (at traffic light you will see the RPM go up and down)
<4> Transmission slam when slowing down
<5> Car tramlines (no sport package ...stock 17" eagle RS-A rubber)
<6> Sunroof noise when closing from tilt mode ... sounds like something is broken?
<7> i-drive abnormally slow ...takes over 20 seconds to respond sometimes
<8> address book doesn't show the address I have added until I have power-cycled the car
Please somebody tell me this is all a simple 6-hour-at-the-stealer operation they can take care of?
Thanks!! :'(

I think many of them are software related. I'd say do a software upgrade but don't use CIP 20 obviously......
cheers

1 week & already all those problems? maybe your car was not tested properly. What is the mileage so far?

The transmission slam will not go away even after software updates. BMW claim these are normal operating characteristics. Tramlines are due to the run flats.
