Hello, I’ve been trying to sell a 2017 F13 640d in the last three weeks. The car is very well there, with M package, original mileage, original paint, rear drive, accident-free, sapphire black, seats Cognac, 108k km. Overall, so not so bad starting criteria. Now the interest was very limited, although according to Mobile the price was considered very good and it was actually far too cheaply advertised. I know that winter is not the best season around sol I didn’t expect so few requests, but could it be that beautiful coupés in this price range (33k-38k) are no longer being asked?

Moin! I’ve been at the google for hours, but unfortunately I haven’t found a reasonable statement yet. Our BMW 730d F01, BJ 2010 has been having problems with the gearbox for quite some time. The following situation: When accelerating strongly – e.g. driving up to the motorway – (but not kickdown) the gearbox often jerks extremely when switching from the 4th to the 5th gear. More precisely: Speed goes up to the limiter, foot of the gas, gear jerks and bumps a bit roughly into the next gear. The gearbox appears in the BC (see attached photos) The gearbox seems to switch on until the 6th gear until it finally gets stuck in the emergency program, i.e. it no longer switches back. Also, the selector lever can no longer be moved into the “M” mode or automatically jumps back to “D”. After a short stop at the parking lot and “engine off – engine in” everything runs again as if nothing had been done. Contrary to the contributions that I found in the net, my BMW contract finds workshop NO error in the error memory. The transmission oil has already been changed, also directly at the friendly one. We are now thinking about asking directly at ZF, the problem is that we are not often on the road in the corner of Dortmund and the trip there (>900km per track) really has to be worthwhile. Did someone have the same problem and can give me any tip or solution? Thanks and nice holiday still dear greetings 7er Ösi

Hello together, today I received my G11 and started the journey home of 200 km. The G11 is a dream, I drove F10 and 11, X5 F15 and in front of it n F01. All great cars but the G11 packs again a proper hill on it. Must have had. The pimped interior is fun but also a large scope, which takes a lot of time. After the first 2000 km I will write a detailed report. Wanted to express my satisfaction now A. What I noticed for the first time, when I parked the car today it smelled from the engine compartment and also a little smoke. If at the moment still from residue, I did not notice with all other vehicles. Beautiful WE you

Hello, with my newly acquired 750i LCI Bj 09/19 I have unfortunately shot my rims despite careful driving, see picture. Especially if you have to park in a fucking parking garage like that at the T2 Fraport. But the main reason for my failure is the small center screen, or the tiny 3D/Bird View view of the parking system. If it’s dark around the vehicle, then you can’t see anything on the screen, even if you take the magnifying glass. We nn then still the sun shines can remove the screen and throw it out of the sunroof. Several times I was now of these situations that on the screen there was nothing to be seen when parking. This is then really a disaster for such a car, which I have not yet experienced with any vehicle. Even if the hope is low, is there anything here with which one can improve this circumstance? So far my only, but a very big criticism point at the G11. LG Felix

Hello, it is about a BMW 650i 2012 with 87500km. The car is moved last months in the city. Yesterday I went on the highway, on the return drive at the acceleration track full throttle, then came a loud bang, and white smoke behind the car. Forcibly stopped, I had 15 oil track and the whole oil ran out. From the engine compartment even a metal piece fell. I had directly in front of it no lamp on, at the drive I drove 120-140-150 km/h over 14 km, the engine was warm. After an acceleration at the traffic lights, he had run out of time in the city and then ran in a very restless position. After 2-3 hours everything was ok. He actually ran very well and also no oil consumption. I know, actually it doesn’t matter now. It just happened, the engine is history. You still deal with why question, probably for processing. Here comes my question. Is the repair or with engine damage so worthwhile? Are there in Ruhr area experts ? Where do you get a reasonable AT engine with warranty and of course costs. What is your experience? Thank you

Hello, I had been smart about a 6′ convertible F12 (from Bj 2011) in the forum for a long time. I was advised against the first 650i with 408hp due to engine problems. The 449hp is supposed to be much better, but is probably still more vulnerable to the 640i (even if it is more fun of course). Is that your opinion too? Otherwise I would like to look at the following three driving lines (see 1, 2 and 3). The 2nd 640i of course did not run very well, but rims are not very good. What do you think about it, which one you would recommend to me and what should I take care of/check on with the three? 1.) 640i: Vehicle data: BMW 640i Cabrio HUD Camera ACC Night Seat ventilation Heating German vehicle 2.Hd 31.999 € First registration: 08/2013 Kilometer level: 129.999 km Power: 235 kW (320 hp) Color: Silver Metallic Click on the link to get directly to the advertisement:https://suche.mobile.de/…/details.html?… 2.) 640i Vehicle data: BMW 640i Cabrio*Navi*Camera*2-Hand*German vehicle 35,950 € First registration: 11/2013 Kilometer level: 81,700 km Power: 235 kW (320 hp) Color: Silver Metallic Click on the link to get directly to the listing:https://suche.mobile.de/…/details.html?… 3.) 650i: Vehicle data: BMW 650i Cabrio xDrive M-Sports package LED ACC Standh 35.900 € (Brutto) First registration: 05/2013 Kilometer level: 128,900 km Power: 330 kW (449 hp) Colour: Black Metallic Click on the link to get If you are looking for an advertisement:https://suchen.mobile.de/…/details.html?… I find that the 650i engine causes a bit of grumble in my stomach and is also a bit expensive in the maintenance (consumption, insurance, tax).

Because at least the 1st 640i with about 130,000km I look tomorrow afternoon.

Hello, I’m interested in an upper class car and I’m fluctuating between the BMW 7 and the Audi A8. When I compare the offers, it seems to me almost as if there is the Audi A8 55 TFSI and the BMW 750i in the same price structure. I’m surprised because the BMW can come up with a V8. I have about 60.000€ available, the vehicle should come with BMW Premium Selection. Since I drive only about 10000km a year (much home office!) the mileage is not quite so I have already taken various vehicles into the visir. But now I ask myself, before I sign with anticipation, what it looks like with the long-term experiences, especially with the V8. Is this reliable or are problems known, which make it quickly a dime grave? Are other weak points known on the 7s, why one should leave one’s fingers off? What do the inspections cost so much? I am interested here positive as well as negative opinions alike. So no leaf in front of the mouth. Here is for example an interesting model:https://suche.mobile.de/…/details.html?… Here in comparison a 740 in the similar price range:https://suche.mobile.de/…/details.html?… VG, laurooon

Hello zsm, I have a question to the exhilarated M850i driver. I had a HU/AU appointment today and the examiner criticized a clearly damaged hardy disc when looking at it. I could hardly believe it myself when I saw the good piece (see photos). Did one of you ever have an exchange of the hardy disc? Mine is visibly torn in several places after 93,000 km. At one point you can even see the fabric (photo 2 – but you can see on In my opinion, a hardy disc should last much longer? BMW is just checking whether the good piece is running on guarantee (BMW Premium Selection)? I’m curious. Does anyone of you know if this is covered by the Premium Selection Warranty?

Hello everyone, My 635d has a particle filter problem in the screen, but after further drive the message has disappeared again. So the “reset” that it shuts down from the runtime, it actually can not be, because I had already registered a “new” about 2 years ago, with Deep OBD software. But nothing was exchanged, it is a year 2010 with 235k kilometers. I next changed both thermostats and deleted all errors, am circa 40-50 km with 120-150 km/h. Whether he automatically requested a regeneration while driving, I can’t say, could not see anything with Carly there. I tried to request a regeneration in the DPF menu of Carly, but always the message “failed”. The ash and soot values there are to my knowledge only calculated and do not really say anything, it was 60 and 0.95. When I stood in front of the garage, in idle, and thought the topic was done, appeared the Error again on the screen, but has disappeared again after about 1 minute. Afterwards I have read out the error memory: – 00480A Particle filter system – 00410 Exhaust gas backpressure sensor before particle filter, signal Have deleted the errors again and read out the live data: – Cooling water temperature: 93 degrees – Absolute pressure in the particle filter 967.890 hPa – Differential pressure over the particle filter (raw value): 40.876 hPa – Differential pressure over the particle filter: 40.876 hPa – Exhaust gas backdruc k before particle filters – corrected: 977.891 hPa – exhaust pressure before particle filters: 988.891 hPa Can I still try anything before I renew the particle filter + sensors? Have the PISTON PREMIUM app if you can do more with it than with Carly. And as far as the particle filter is concerned: Does it recommend to expand the old one here and send in for free burning or buy a new one (from the accessory)? At the price it comes about to the same thing (350-400 euros), without working hours.

Sorry that I already (again) put the topic on, but it just doesn’t leave me any rest at the moment. I would like to equip my existing original BMW 20″ BMW rims (728 Bi-Color) with 20″ winter tires, which also have a BMW “*” mark, but unfortunately there is not the one at 20″ WinterREIFEN. However, since I am a “branded” child with the topic tires (SUPER sensitive to imbalance), it looks like I have to buy an original 19″ WinterREDER set. for winterers/reifen at 20″, or do you advise me to buy the 19″??? As mentioned, I am sensitive to the topic of running calm/unbalance SUPER…
