Replying to: 530ir1150r (Oct 22, 2007 11:30 am) I'm at 133K in my 2003 540I. It was the last of the E39 series. I've spent a bit more, since I've done a few things like replaced the cooling system (radiator, water pump, thermostat etc) brakes a few times, and more tires than you can shake a stick at. Unfortunately the machine has left me stranded a couple of times - Blew an upper radiator hose in my driveway, at the end of a rather spirited 70 mile run... (ok, at least it was considerate enough to wait until I got home). Alternator quit, resulting in a tow, and those water cooled alternators are NOT cheap! I still find it the best car, even though not as reliable as my Camry.... I still glance back when I walk away from it. |

Replying to: 530ir1150r (Oct 22, 2007 11:30 am) Unfortunately, more recently, the climate control has acted erraticly, hoping that it is an electrical gremlin that will settle down. Ever had any problems with yours? Curiously (or maybe not), my E34 (which was still running great at 102k miles when I sold it) also had some climate control electrical problems. |

Replying to: sdg380 (Oct 23, 2007 6:42 am) The AC fan sometimes speeds up or stops when you think it shouldn't, but it always soon corrects and I do not want it screwed up by someone trying to fix it. The radio has also increased in volume twice in 5 years, same decision.

I just picked up my 2008 535xi.....it is an awesome car!!...I can't find any central location for the many voice command options, not in the owner's manual or the internet. Can anybody help?

The i-drive on my 535i decided to quit working last evening. The car is only 2+months old. Needless to say I'm a tad frustruated. I'm bringing it to the dealer Thursday and am hoping for a quick fix... Anyone have a similar problem on a new 5?
