Biggest complaint after 2 years ownership

jwong77 · 04-12-2019, 09:50 AM

My biggest complaint are that I didn't get the cool looking Icon Headlights and I didn't get the M Sport body. Since those are my fault, they don't count. As for actual failures, the active grills motor died and were replaced, the car had a wastegate module die and was replaced and one of the trunk struts died and was replaced. Beyond that, I have no complaints really.

Wow. My 2018 530e hasn't had any issues.

Frankly I don't mind, since it gave me an opportunity to extensively drive and compare my car to a new X3, an F30 330e and a 530i. In the end, I like my car the best.

my biggest complaint is that the car does not remember last driving mode.

that can be coded (or at least the default changed). I have the adaptive mode and had my car coded to default to adaptive mode.

I can still switch to sport when I want to but I use Adaptive mode most of the time (I don't use Comfort or EcoPro).

Having driven 4,000 miles in this car I'm super pleased. This is my 12th BMW. My last was a 2015 F10 D M sport. That was a great car. This one is that much better. MSRP was $85,000 with too many options to list. Gesture control is a bit of a gimmick but the rest are great. Best one yet so far.

One small complaint: Goodyear Eagles (OEM) have a resonating humming sound. Not the typical RF roar but something different. Dealership ruled out wheel bearings. Sent to corporate as a complaint. I think it's those Goodyears myself.
