I had one of those Takata airbags a few BMWs ago so I probably still have some subconscious concerns of flying shrapnel at any given time! |

Windshield wiper fluid not spraying anymore
Wiper fluid not spraying anymore for front and rear windshields.
Got a wiper fluid low message on the dash for a split second and wiper fluid is not spraying any more. No more fluid low message either in the dash or system menu. Filled up the windshield washer fluid tank with a full gallon of generic blue washer fluid. Head lamp cleaner works but the windshield sprayers don't. I can hear the pump run when trying to activate the spray. Possibly frozen outlets? Stopped after about 15 tries to avoid burning the pumps. |

Although I think it's a bit odd that our precious BMWs can only take precious OEM-fluid to remain clog-free, I've only used 100% BMW OEM fluid ever since on 3 different cars and have never had any issues. Whenever I take my car in for dealership service they'd refill with OEM for free if it was noticeably low, but I also always have a couple extra bottles on hand at home in case it's been a while since a dealership refill. You can grab OEM off Amazon for cheaper than the dealership once you've done your unclogging. Of course, if you've always used 100% OEM with the exception of that generic blue bottle just now being a one-time thing, then your issue is likely different than what I had. |

55k miles and valve cover gasket and oil filter housing gasket need replaced. BMW can't get these seals correct. It's the exact same story as my N54 335i had.

Got a P0461 code today. Related to fuel sensor. My tank would stop a gallon or two short of full. Should I be worried? I will clear it today and see if it comes back lol

2015 35i Issue with Suspension
I've had my 35i for about 2 years now, its on almost 70k miles, and the only issue I've had with it is a slight squeaking coming from the front driver-side suspension when braking or accelerating. It seems to be a bushing gone bad that I will eventually get around to replacing.

Same story here. I was getting a weird plastic burnt smell so I took it to the mechanic. They charged me 575 to replace and change everything.

Had my oil filter housing gasket changed earlier this year as well w/ ~ 70,000 miles on it. It was covered under CPO otherwise looking at $500...are you f'n kidding me? At least they washed the engine bay afterwards so it came out looking new but this is not the type of shit that should go this early.

You'll prolly end up adding 1 qt of oil between oil changes which seems pretty normal for BMW lol...fyi.

Learn something new every day. Not spending the money to reprogram stuff right now but I did figure out how to roll up windows/sunroof without getting in and starting the vehicle. I was watching reviews and one really long on barely mentioned it.

Transmission Issues
Hello everyone, new here but have been reading and learning quite a bit.
Last February I purchased a 2015 X5 50i used with 34k miles. I drive approx 25k miles a year and just hit 59k miles. Absolutely love the vehicle for daily responsibilities. I have performed all suggested maintenance and change the oil every 5k myself. I Started to have some slipping in the transmission and dropped it off this morning. The dealership pulled the codes and is recommending a full replacement. I have a 125k mile warranty that will be covering this. Just posting this here to get some feedback and others experience with reman'd units? Thank you to all for the valuable information found here on these vehicles and maintenance.

I do not have the codes but 6-7 shift was a slip/bang while all others were smooth.
After a bit of stop and go traffic- the downshift to second gear while then getting back into slight acceleration with traffic made the transmission feel like it was going to drop out of the car. I drive very cautiously and average over 20mpg. Always in 'D' mode. All else is great, burning 1 qt every 5k so everything seems normal and no lights on the dash at all.
