#4306 of 4442 Re: HPFP (fuel pump) acting up again [jmaroun] by Mr_Shiftright HOST 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 4442 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 4442 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 4442 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.
#4314 of 4442 Steering Wheel question by r34 Jul 10, 2009 (8:48 pm)
I just bought a CPO 2007 335xi sedan. I found that I need to use more force to turn the steering wheel. My Saab 9-3 and Audi A4 are not like that.   Is it because of the runflat tires? Maybe it is lacking of power steering fluid?   I expected the Bimmer has better handling than the Audi but I found out not much difference (the Audi may be a little bit "nose heavy").   Thanks.   Ken
#4315 of 4442 Gentle "Wooshing" Sound by idoc2 Jul 13, 2009 (5:10 am)
I have a 2007 238xi. Since the car was new I have noticed a gentle wooshing sound coming from the passenger-side rear quarter when the doors are opened (but only after the car has been parked for aprox>10 min). I have no idea what this is but I have always assumed it was some normal electro-mechanical function that was "awakening" after the car had been "asleep" for a while. Recently, the tone of the noise changed to a raspy rattle and now I fail to hear it at all. I have not noted any change in the function of the car but am wondering what I might be missing. The car has 49K miles and therefore is still under warranty for a few more weeks. Dose anybody have any insights? Thanks
