Perhaps the 3 series and 5 series coupes and sedans are closer to the cars BMW's engineers want to build. The X3 and X5 are the vehicles they grudgingly have to build -- but won't necessarily burden themselves with on their own shores.

Hi, I am about to purchase a BMW. The 328i coupe with a manual tranny, is there anything good or bad that I should know about, or what to expect. I have heard alot of stories good and bad about BMW's. I would just like to know how to prepare, I would still probably buy one anyway. Looking for some feed back, thanks.
 
P.S. Should definitly get rid of the run flat tires, or at least still give you a spare and a jack. There should be a spot for a spare tire, under the trunk.

#271 of 278 Oil Dip Stick... by steven48

Aug 01, 2009 (2:56 pm)

Why did BMW stop using the dipstick, maybe I want to check my oil, to see the level. I don't want to wait for that "light" on the dash. Also, get rid of the RFL, or at least make a wheel well in the trunk space for a spare, if I want to get one. I am looking foreward to getting my 2009 / 328i Coupe, in a couple of months. Thanks.

Check your Owner's Manual, you should be able to check your oil level from the a display inside your car.

The CIC iDrive is on a different release schedule. Unless you have the Business nav then 2009-2 is the latest version. CIC is the Professional iDrive that uses an HDD. Maps are updated via CD or through your dealer.

a car that can carry a spare tire that won't take your head off in an accident and has a dipstick to check the oil, you don't want a BMW.
 
Sad.

#275 of 278 BMW Warning Messages by ajgrantcsh

I have a warning light on my dash. It's a car icon with sequential arrows radiating out from each side. I think it may be a warning that my mirrors are folded in, but I'd like to confirm that. I'll play with it some more to see if it only happens in reverse.
 
This question also leads to the question of where there may be a comprehensive listing of these symbols. I have searched the owner's manual, but it's not there.
 
Thanks,
 
Andrew

Hi TeeBone1958,
 
I like your info:
"Beginning with 2003, 325i Sedan, Coupe, Sport Wagon
Automatic for sale in California, Mass, New York,
and Vermont are fitted with an updated motor
identified as PZEV (Partial Zero Evaporative Emissions) M56 B25"
 
I know I've got 2003 325i which is SULEV and how can I prove
to BMW dealer that this is also PZEV?
I need this prove for emission warranty purpose.

#277 of 278 cruise control by upstatedoc

Oct 13, 2010 (7:08 am)

I tried looking this up in my E90's manual but couldn't find anything.
Let's say you've got the cruise on and you want to slow down rapidly because you've recieved an "alert" but you don't want to hit the brakes so as to notify other's that you've recieved an alert.
I've found that by pulling back on the cruise stalk the car will slow down much more rapidly than if you just click it off. How is this working? Do the brake lights come on? Anyone?

#278 of 278 Just bought an '09 335i coupe. Great car! One question by kevin111

I was curious which stereo it had? I think it has the Logic 7 Surround sound, but not sure. Have the HD radio, nav, premium package, and Sport. Just curious.
