    BMW has had front control arm bushing issues on 5/6 series cars since the 80s. Always check the control arm bushings before digging into the brakes.

    70-80 vibration is control arm bushings. Every 60k of miles. My old e34 525 had the same issues. Take it in and have new bushings pressed in. And brake rotors are $45 a piece.

    I know you get a million of these questions, but I test drove a 2011 535i Xdrive today and am thinking hard about it. It only had 81,000 miles, and for a 12+ year old car that is pretty good. I'm just scared of the maintenance costs of these things. Coming from a 2007 Honda Civic Si that's basically cost me nothing to maintain, a Bimmer is gonna kill the pocketbook huh?

    yes, i can confirm that replacing the control arm will got rid of the vibration after all. since i have a CPO Certified the dealer paid for it at 60K miles. at 75K they replaced the entire transmission, imported from Germany, and the valve cover gasket. at 100k replace both driver and passenger sides axles. at 136K i have to paid for the thermostat and the water pump. tire, brake and rotors were replaced at the regular interval so ... oh, last year the lock module on my passenger went out so they have to replace that. the car paid for and seem like all the parts are technically new so ... should i keep it? i think i should ... keep my finger cross for another 100K? wishful thinking?

    Gotta ask haha I found a very very clean condition manual transmission car 535i 2011 for 12k. Has 147k miles though ): having have owned E36 E46 and my newest e60 all in manual transmission I know that high miles bring regular maintenance items but I've noticed that manual transmissions tend to be at least a little more reliable. I've never owned a turbo BMW before what's your take? Awesome video I've had that exact control arm issue before! Here's a tip for folks who drive spiritedly and track the cars. Use red high strength thread locker to torque bolts. Even at factory torque they kept backing out under hard driving mainly the e60 due to higher weight I'm guessing!

Going to check it out/test drive tomorrow, I'd be trading in my 2016 WRX with 87k miles - to some that may sound silly but I randomly test drove a different 535i because my girlfriend just bought a 328i and I fell in love... it's so perfectly spacious, decently quick and felt like so much car. I would definitely be keeping it forever since it would be silly to expect it to retain decent value if the miles go up so I think if it makes sense I'm going to say fuck it.

    I'll give you a dated reference. I bought my 2015 535 coming off lease in 2018 for $31k. Mint condition with 32k miles. Given how the market has been going crazy lately, it's a high price for a car that age, but not necessarily insane as the miles are relatively low. Key will be how the car was maintained and if it comes with a warranty. An ideal price would be between $22 and $25.

    Hey bro, ive got a problem with my f10 n55. One day the car started to act strange like i had no power under 2000rpm, an extra sound from the exhaust, the engine running a bit rough, laggy acceleration. I thought its time for the spark plugs to be changed and so i did (ngk 97506). The car was perfect for like 2-3 days after the plugs change, then again the problem reapeared. At that moment i thought the plugs are not ok for my car and i changed them with oem ones. After 3-4 days of running great, the car did the same problem again. Ive changed all the coils (oem) and plugs (oem) and the car ran perfect again. After 2-3 days again bad…i decided to check everything like turbo/intake/chargepipe/ did a smoke test, everything perfect. I put back the ngk’s that i used in the first time and the car run perfect again but again for only 2-3 days. Do you think it could be the injectors? Car has 119k kms, the plugs had no signs of fuel on them, but my oil is smelling like gas

    No check engine light? Normally when your car is running at reduced power it will go into the limp mode and throw a code.. even if no check engine I recommend getting it scanned by a bmw professional because they can read codes that normal readers won’t show at all. At least they will pin point the problem for you that you can DIY fix 👍. It does sound like injectors might be the problem here but I would make sure 100% this is it before replacing those as it’s not that cheap ( they need to be coded too).
