#12640 of 12657 tire problem by gardis Aug 31, 2009 (2:02 pm)
Guys thanks for that advice. Kevin, that's what I'm going to do is call the dealer just to let them know. At least I'm covered if I have a problem later on.   Re the car wash, yes, at the car washes down here, you leave the car running, they drive the car onto a device that moves the vehicle through the wash while it's getting washed. Anyway, I figured out how to change the locking system to my liking. During the winter, what do you do to wash your car? My water is all shut down where I live. I have no choice.   MPG - that explains it. I'm driving the exact opposite of you. I'm doing maybe 25% highway, 75% local. That's my problem.   Thanks again for your great advice guys.
#12641 of 12657 2008 535i Sport vs No Sport Pkg by pcman Sep 21, 2009 (11:59 am)
I'm shoppiing for an off-lease 2008 535i. My question is whether or not to purchase one w/ Sport Pkg. I love the look of the Sport wheels but I dont want a bone-jarring ride. Ive even considered buying a non-sport model and buying a set of BMW sport wheels off ebay or something. I drove a 550i w/ sport and upgraded 19" wheels and it seemed pretty rough-riding.   I'd appreciate any opinion on how harsh the ride is on a Sport Package 535 vs non Sport.

Replying to: pcman (Sep 21, 2009 11:59 am) If you drove a 2008 or newer 550i Sport, the 535i Sport is not nearly as firm as that. I've driven an '08 535i Sport and own an '08 550i Sport.

Does anyone know where to buy a brand new 2006, 2007, or 2008 BMW 530? What happens to the cars that do not get sold? Replies to this message: tayl0rd (Sep 29, 2009 7:37 am)

Replying to: pcman (Sep 21, 2009 11:59 am) I have the 2008 535i with sport package. I love it. It is a smooth ride. If you change out the run-flats, it's even smoother. I test drove the 550i, it was really too rumbley for me. I felt like I was sitting on top of a jet engine. I am pretty sensitive to comfort. I also have the comfort seats, which are great as well.

Replying to: wantabmw (Sep 28, 2009 12:49 pm) You can't. The ones the dealers can't sell get sent to auction. If they don't sell there, which is highly unlikely, they are sent back to the manufacturer and then to the crusher.

#12649 of 12657 2008 535xi issues by njdriver1 Oct 20, 2009 (7:53 am)
Not sure where to post this, but...when the car started rough and every red light on the dash came on I rumbled down to the dealer and stank the area up with gas odor. Had to have the fuel injectors replaced at 24,000m. That was last month. Now I've been to the dealer twice when the "check brake fluid" note came on. It was only on for a minute or 2 then went off. Comes on every morning after driving for about 10 minutes. The dealer claims it's "software". Has anyone come across this or seen a TSB for this? The vehicle was pretty good for the first 2 years but now I don't know.
