I drive a 2007 328xi and recently noticed a buzzing or whirring sound similar to that of a small electric motor coming from the passenger side rear quarter. It is only audible outside the car and after the ignition has been turned off. It lasts for about 2 or 3 minutes. Does anyone have any idea as to what this may be? IDOC

I purchased my car back in June 07, since then it has probably been in the shop at least once a month. My biggest problem which has yet to be solved by BMW is my clutch. Everytime I release the clutch, it makes a squeaking noise. If I have the radio off or low, this sound drives me nuts. I have come to realize that this noise is the pedal not the clutch itself. Another interesting problem arose a few days ago. After I washed my car: everytime I released my clutch my air conditioner would turn on from its off mode. Has this or anything similar happen to anyone else? LIST OF OTHER ISSUES: - Sunroof Colapsed, was not able to close, looked sunken in for days. - Passenger seat, had 3 huge bumps on the bottom part of seat. Very unattractive - Random display of messages on the cars on-board computer display. |

I have a 2006 325i with adaptive head lamps. Today the OBC flashed a warning that the swiveling feature is not working. The car has less than 20000 miles on it. I love the car but I am dreading the thought of warranty expiration.  Have any of you experienced this particular failure? br ManualGuy

Replying to: davidd3 (Feb 15, 2008 5:52 am) I have never owned or leased a BMW before this one. I am quite surprised by the emotions that this car evokes in me. So I would expect irrational thinking on my part as far as this car is concerned and I keep this well past the warranty period.

My anti freeze light went on so I filled it with regular anti freeze but the BMW dealer said I need to put BMW anti freeze in. Is this ture and did I ruin the car by putting in regular anti freeze. Thanks

Replying to: thomberman (Feb 16, 2008 5:39 pm) Did you ruin your car by putting regular anti-freeze in there? No, that would be unlikely, especially if it has only been in there for a short period of time. That said, you would be best off if you had the cooling system flushed and the proper coolant re-added to your car. FWIW, if you are on a budget, you can also use the Zerex G-05 HOAT coolant (I've found it to be available at most NAPA stores). http://www.valvoline.com/zerex/pdf/Zerex_CoolantChart.pdf?coaid=1B5D1AEA1AFC Best Regards, Shipo |
