They are the facelift model

I also bought a 2011 528i at the beginning of this month and did a ton of research the last 4 months. The 2011 528i is going to be the most reliable of the F10 models (at least here in the US) because it has the N52 engine and ZF 8 speed transmission. As long as you stay on top of recommended service intervals and preventative maintenance, these engines and transmissions can easily last 300k+ miles. Common issues with these cars: - Valve cover leaks: either the gasket fails, or the plastic valve cover develops a crack. Keep an eye on any leaks and fix them before they get too bad because the oil can drip down onto other parts and cause issues. For example, oil can leak down into the spark plug wells and cause a misfire. It can also leak down onto the serpentine belt, increasing the likelihood of the belt slipping off of the pulleys and potentially causing engine/radiator damage. There have even been documented cases of the belt getting sucked into the engine through the crankshaft seal. - Oil filter housing gasket leak - Plastic coolant flange (Also known as Mickey Mouse flange) failure: Because this flange is made of plastic, it becomes brittle over time with the heat cycles of the coolant. Eventually it will break and you will lose coolant and potentially be stranded on the side of the road. I would recommend replacing this flange with the Rein aluminum replacement. You can find it on Rock Auto for about $23 shipped. www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/bmw,2011,528i,3.0l+l6,1446424,cooling+system,coolant+hose+connector+/+flange,11566 - Water pump and thermostat failure - Vanos solenoid failure: The Vanos solenoids commonly fail at around 70,000 miles. There are two of them and sometimes they just need to be removed and cleaned out with brake cleaner and have their seals replaced. If that does not work they will need to be replaced. - Oil pan gasket leak Here is a useful link with regard to common n52 issues: bmwtuning.co/bmw-n52-engine-problems/#toc-rough Below are some recommendations on service intervals and preventative maintenance schedules: - Engine oil and filter: 5,000-7,500 miles/1 year - Engine air filter: 20,000-25,000 miles - Spark plugs: 30,000-60,000 miles/3years - Ignition coils 60,000miles/10 years - Water pump and thermostat: 60,000-80,000 miles - Transmission fluid and filter: 62,000 miles/8 years (As recommended by ZF, don't trust BMW's "lifetime" fluid.) - Rear differential oil: 62,000 I recommend changing this at the same time you change the transmission fluid and filter. - Serpentine belt, idler, and tensioner: 60,000 miles unless the belt has cracks/wear marks, tensioner is wobbling, or oil has leaked onto the belt. If you keep on top of these, the car should be very reliable from a drivability standpoint. Of course, you will have the occasional electronic malfunction/failure. If you will be working on the car yourself, I highly recommend getting an ENET(~$20) or ICOM($$$) cable and ISTA+ or another BMW diagnostic program as it will provide much more information than your standard OBD reader.

@@nickw2392 thanks mate we are on the same boat iam enjoying it but the only worry some thing is the engine operating temperature cause ive got an audi A6 2009 V6 fsi that thing runs at a very low temperature and ive had it for more than 5 years and ive only been doing oil and filter change

It’s called eBay

It’s not perfect but I do like having maps when I drive. I wish someone would come up with a single DIN that is full glass (no trim) and have power and volume buttons. Hope yours works out well. It’s not bad at all for the price!

I tried but was not able to find the right size pipe… but with the tape it’s a lot easier to customize your size. 😀

I haven’t found a way yet… it is a little annoying but for the price I can’t complain.

Yes, there are two power wires, one supplies constant power even when the ignition key is removed and is usually the radio's yellow wire, and one is for accessory power which is usually a red wire on the radio. The constant power lead keeps the radio in a sleep mode and the accessory lead wakes the radio up. Depending on the unit, when wired properly the boot up time is only a few seconds. The standby power drain is extremely low so there is no danger of draining you car battery unless you let your car sit for weeks without charging the battery. Even then some radios have a low power drain prevention circuit which completely shuts down the radio if the car's battery voltage goes below a certain level.

At that point in the video I was draining out the oil. And yes over 4 liters came out of the bike, the previous owner had over filled the bike. When adding oil properly as per the manual, you only need about 2.5 liters. This bike is very specific about how to properly drain and fill oil and also how to start the bike. 😀

Ah, I just found your centrestand install video :)

@@clasdauskas my '03 scarver came with a center stand

@@goatsticks101 did you buy the scarver new? or could a previous owner have installed an aftermarket one?

Likely done by previous owner. They did not come with one new to my knowledge.
