#12651 of 12657 Re: 2008 535i Sport vs No Sport Pkg [pcman] by pcman Oct 26, 2009 (5:40 am)
Replying to: pcman (Sep 21, 2009 11:59 am) Update:   I bought my 2008 535 and feel guilty for being so in love with a car. I actually got one that had been upfitted w/ 19" M6 wheels and tires. My previous concerns about a Sport Pkg 5 series having a rough ride are completely unfounded. Its as smooth as a baby's behind.   New question: These 19" tires are pretty worn in the back and pretty good shape in the front. They are General Exclaim UHP's. Everythings fine except they're loud. Are all 19" low pro tires this loud? Replies to this message: tayl0rd (Oct 28, 2009 4:50 am) pcman (Oct 28, 2009 5:52 am) tayl0rd (Oct 28, 2009 10:19 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: pcman (Oct 26, 2009 5:40 am) Any size worn, low profile tire is loud. And why didn't you have the dealership replace the tires before you bought it? Replies to this message: pcman (Oct 28, 2009 5:52 am) tayl0rd (Oct 28, 2009 10:19 am) andys120 (Oct 28, 2009 4:17 pm)

Replying to: tayl0rd (Oct 28, 2009 4:50 am) I bought this car from an individual is why the worn tires. I knew what i was getting into in regards to the tires. i just didnt want to buy new tires if they were going to be just as loud as what's on there now. My plan is to switch the General Exclaims with some Michelin Pilos AS Plus. Any opinion there? Replies to this message: tayl0rd (Oct 28, 2009 10:19 am) andys120 (Oct 28, 2009 4:17 pm)

Replying to: pcman (Oct 28, 2009 5:52 am) The Michelins will be quiet for about 5000 miles. I had a set on a previous car. Great tires in wet and dry, but they get quite noisy once they begin to wear. Replies to this message: andys120 (Oct 28, 2009 4:17 pm)

Replying to: tayl0rd (Oct 28, 2009 10:19 am) Now that's the trouble with modern cars, the tires are louder than the motor, another advantage for old-fashioned skinny tires which are way more fun to drive on because they'll let go if you lean on 'em.

Replying to: wedgeman (Oct 21, 2009 7:19 am) Yes, I have a 2007 530i, and I don't believe it's a fault. I have the same problem. The window design is such that if it's raining and you use the wipers especially, that water sloshes over the left side of the windshield and drips into the window controls. Nothing can be done I don't think. I simply keep the windows closed when it's raining, or I keep them open just slightly so no water comes in. I hope that's my biggest problem with the car, which I love.
#12657 of 12657 Plastic Doors, really? by bmwforever Nov 05, 2009 (6:14 pm)
I have a 2007 535i and was stunned to find out that somehow, my rear door had been cracked - a big crack from font to back. Evidently the door isn't metal - it's plastic. What the heck? Not sure what to do with it. I called a body shop and they didn't believe me. Do they sell replacement plastic "shells"?
