#4304 of 4431 Re: Rear A/C not a blast [blueguydotcom] by ez2do Jun 29, 2009 (4:24 am)
Replying to: blueguydotcom (Jun 28, 2009 8:46 pm) I am a bit surprised because the AC on my '03 X5 was quite capable and the kids were always comfortable when they controlled the rear AC. Thanks for the reply, good to hear some commentary.
#4305 of 4431 HPFP (fuel pump) acting up again by jmaroun Jun 30, 2009 (3:55 pm)
I bought a new 2008 335i (SA [South African build], sedan, manual, with sports package) about a year ago. Within 2-3 months of my purchase, got long crank up times and the dealer replaced the fuel pump. Lately, crank times have been creepping up again. This morning was the longest (about 6-7 seconds).   Very dissappointing. Sure they'll fix it for free I'm sure..but what about after the warrenty? I should have leased.   Joseph San Diego Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jun 30, 2009 6:14 pm)

Replying to: jmaroun (Jun 30, 2009 3:55 pm) Sounds like the fuel pressure regulator might be the problem. If that leaks down, the poor pump has to re-pressurize the entire fuel system every time you start up.
#4307 of 4431 Passenger Side Mirror Setting by densmith1 Jul 01, 2009 (3:16 pm)
When I unlock my 2007 328i sedan by pushing the button on the remote control, The passenger's side mirror changes the angle from where it was when I parked the car. Does this mean there is a problem with my mirror or is there a problem with the remote or some other issue where the setting is not being saved correctly. I am using the reveserve tilt setting by keeping the mirror swith pushed all the way to the left position. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
#4308 of 4431 Should I purchase Extended Maintenace by kenshiro Jul 01, 2009 (4:50 pm)
Hi, I own a 2006 330i. My factory warranty is about to expire in 2 months and I am deciding if I should buy the extend maintenance program. I dont drive much, the car has about 37,000 miles. I asked around and the lowest quote is $2000 for 6 years/100k. Basically, I am paying $2000 for 2 more years of maintenace. Is it worth it based on the miles I drive each year? I heard is very costly just to replace the brakes.

Replying to: mmancini65 (Mar 01, 2007 4:13 am) There is a known problem with the cylinder head, and it had to be replaced, luckily my car is still under warranty. The car went into the dealer numerous times before they heard the sound. They first thought it was air in the oil pump and had to bleed the line, but of course, that didn't help.

#4312 of 4431 Steptronic Transmission by samuel70 Jul 05, 2009 (2:27 pm)
Looking for the some input regarding using the Steptronic, (auto Tran) and driving the car, like its a 5 speed all the time. I have been told by a dealer service advisor not recommended to drive like a stick all the time. Others have said go ahead...anyone on this forum have any thoughts. Will driving it like a stick, cause some transmission issues down the road. My thoughts were if you drive it like a stick buy one... Replies to this message: shipo (Jul 05, 2009 6:19 pm)

Replying to: samuel70 (Jul 05, 2009 2:27 pm) Ummm, overlooking the obvious fact that it is impossible to drive that car like one would drive a car with a stick because it doesn't have a manual transmission and a clutch pedal, no, driving it in manumatic mode shouldn't be any harder on the transmission than leaving it in full auto.
