Issues i had since owning 2015 35i

Just want to give people some idea that issues i had since owning.

mines 2015 35i.. things that that repaired/replaced under warranty:
1. ac was leaky, replaced hose
2.transfer case was replaced
3.steering rack was replaced.
4.left control arm replaced.
5.1 suspension was leaky, replaced.
6.left wheel hub replaced
7.differntial had a leak, repaired by replacing o ring.

These are the major things i can remember, couple minor other things.

If not for extended warranties, i could have easily spent 10 to 15k out of pocket.

most of my issues were underbody parts..

I haven't had my 35i for long enough so I'll let others chime in but this seems like a really unlucky car....

I have a 15 35i and well and either I am super lucky or you are super unlucky. Mine has been a peach. I have done the brakes myself (went to low dust) and put new tires on it, but that is it outside of oil, etc.

It has been great to me. Sorry your experiences has not been as good.

How many miles do you have on your f15? Sometimes it just a car-to-car thing. some cars won't have a single problem and then some may.

I'm at about 60k miles only. Even with all the issues. I still love the car. I'm just glad everything was under warranty. This is my 2nd BMW. My luck with BMW has been bad I guess. My f15 535i had a transmission failure after 4 years.

Yes of course the car is good. I just put 70K miles on my 35i xdrive msport. So far I've only had to change the driver side rear air suspension bag.
