| I didn't mind, at first, that my speedometer and odometer run higher, show higher speeds and mileage, than my gps unit and roadside mileage postings, about 10% higher, in fact. But now that my leased 535i is over the allowed mileage, I'll have to pay 10% more for BMW's enthusiasm/erroneous settings. When the car is due to be turned in a year from now, I'll probably be thousands of miles over. My job changed after I signed the lease deal, and I never thought I'd have to commute this far. Has anyone run into this issue before? | |

Guys I had an experience today. I got into the vehicle (2007 530i) and all of a sudden as I start the engine, I see this big Red symbol on the dash. I never saw it before, and got out the manual. It turns out to be the Tire Pressure Monitor warning. It was telling me that the passenger rear tire needed pressure. I got out and looked at the tire, which seemed totally normal. I drove the car to a tire repair place and they checked the tire pressure as being normal (35psi). They checked the other tires as well, also normal. So, I read the manual, and it said to "reset" what to do, which I did. Sure enough, the TPM warning disappeared. What does this mean, if anything, and do I need to contact the dealer about it? It just seemed weird the TPM would go off, when the tire was fine. I believe the tires are run flats also. Thanks Guys.

Hey Gardis, I would let the dealer know, if for no other reason than just to go on the record, about the tire pressure warning. It may be that the computer may need to be reset at some point and at least you can say that you brought it to the dealer's attention. I had a meltdown of some of the electrical, power seats, mirrors, steering wheel electrical just stopped and then started up like nothing happened a few hours later. Dealer checked and said that sometimes the computer systems need to be checked and reset, and while mine didn't based on their check, if it happens again or after warranty I have an argument if it's an issue. I am averaging about 30 mpg for sure, to answer your other post, with a mix of 75% highway and 25% in town. I use 91 or 93 gas. Finally, a BMW should not go through a car wash, in my opinion. Only time I did this past winter I got a scratch on the rim, no more ever again. Not sure I understand why you leave the keys in the car when you get out at a car wash? You leave the car running? |
