G30 issues?
I get my G30 this Thursday. I'm hearing rumblings that there are issues with them such as rattles, HUD problems and water in the headlights.
Thoughts and experience please.

I pick up mine also with the M Performance kit fitted, no such worries for me.
If it has a problem BMW will fix end of.

Had my 530D m sport since may 2017 - not one issue so far. Driven about 15k.
Mine has most options added. Love the car, and it still turns heads and brings in the occasional ‘awesome car’ comment at gas stations and what not. No regrets! Only thing I’m annoyed about is still waiting for m performance power/sound kit for it, but should be right around the corner! |

The 5 is a premium model, franchises are obliged to log faults and submit them to bmw AG for analysis etc. Many of them are then audited by bmw Uk anyway, so it will be taken seriously. My current X5 has always had a glitch with HUD . It doesn't always position itself in the stored position but the next time the car is started, all is OK. Bmw have never been able to sort that and I've just had to accept it, even with the entire HUD unit replaced too. The HUD in the g30 Is far more advanced, perhaps the 4th gen I think.

Haven't had any issues with HUD dashboard for 3 months. Car works a treat. There's always going to be one car that'll have issues but these aren't the norm. I think you'll enjoy your car.

No problems here Balster.
Only annoyance is that I too had the crackling noise from the dashboard soon after setting off when car has been parked in hot sunlight, lasts about 5 seconds...... Good luck - it's a great car!

I'm the guy that has had issues since day 1. 28 days out of service in the first six months. Most of the annoyances that were unresolved I've learned to just live with but look forward to unloading this car soon.
Lesson learned on being early buyer of a new model. |

My March 2017 530d has done 25000 Km. Apart from the cracking dash in hot weather , which seemed to resolve itself as the plastics bedded in, had an oil sensor malfunction, telling me I had too much oil; apparently a known issue as they can be too sensitive - it was a 10 minute fix at the dealer.

My 540i xdrive will be a year old in april. Only issue was check engine light that came on. A software update took care of it. No issues.

Picked mine up today. Seem to complain of tyre pressure when switched on. Could be the snow?

The dealer should have manually checked the pressures and done a reset. May take a few starts to not nag you. If still a warning, try checking and resetting yourself.

Reverse Cam blank and Diesel fume smell - 1 year on
3/4 times a month reverse camera does not display on screen... stop and restart car solves it...
Now and again when coming a long stop and pull off, smell diesel fumes (like you're following a truck in front)... This happened in my F10, BMW fixed it with a grommet or valve replacement FOC... I'm going to do it again
