Theoretically, couldn't you pull plugs and check for excessive fouling if so?

This is a great thread now that warranties are expiring and we can start to get a much truer picture with detailed accounts like yours. Sorry you’ve had so many issues. |

The ride was way rougher than my E90. My E90 had sports package. os, it was a bit lower to the group than a non-sport package E9x.

2019 540i xDrive with ~42,000 miles. Zero issues that have needed repair. Been a wonderful car. One set of tires at 36,000 miles.
I do have an ever-so-slight vibration at 82 mph. Not sure if it is a repaired tire from a flat or the issue being discussed in another thread. Also, I have observed twice an issue where the headlights will cycle between on and off in rapid succession (i.e. looks like something is triggering the auto headlights to come on, then turn off.) Moving the headlight control from "auto" to "off" and then back to "auto" has resolved the issue both times. I suspect this will become a warranty issue if I can make the problem repeatable. Right now there is no way the dealer will be able to duplicate the problem. |

You can check the underside of the oil cap to look for a milky sludge, we can't check the dipstick. I don't know if there are any coolant lines going to the trans. It's a closed system so you have to look every possible failure point. |

Hopefully this thread helps us to get a much fuller picture of the post-warranty life for the G30. With all the electronics these repairs can easily have a runaway cost aspect to them. The electronics are only increasing the complexity and repair costs. For instance, with the LCI your car can be bricked during an OTA update requiring a dealer (or BMW Roadside) visit to sort out. I’d imagine pretty painful Out of Warranty (OW). I’ll be here for the long haul though. I’m owning until 2026 at least for my G30. I purchased the BMW Extended Service Contract and Ultimate Care+4 so I’ll see how it stacks up over that timeframe! Maybe I’ll comeback saying the house won or cheering my past self for wisely backstopping my costs. *dice roll* |

2017 540i xDrive, 35.000km on the clock (21,750 miles)
Installed MPPSK at around 2.000km Flashed with BM3 Stage 1 at around 10.000km No major issues so far. Just annoying things like; -MPPSK rattling exhaust tip -Rattling noise inside above 160km/h since almost new, somewhere around passenger seat. Still could not figure out where exactly it comes from -Side mirror tilting way too much when in reverse. Too much that i turned the feature off. -Auto braking when parking activated two times with absolutely no obstacle around. -idrive screen went black once. Restarted without issues and never came back. -On a very hot day after pushing the car a lot for more than 4 hours, had an issue with the transmission. Did not drop gears neither in manual nor in auto mode. Went back to normal after restart and never came back. Hoping the list does not get any longer

I wonder if these mystery vibrations can possibly come from the driveshaft, guibo. If they can't find/fix the vibration for you, have them look at that assembly. If the driveshaft wasn't properly balanced it will cause a vibration. The faster you go, the more it vibrates. If mine did that, I would Detach the driveshaft from the rear and rotate it 180° and re-bolt it on.
