    I bought an '08 535i. First beemer. I did a lot of research on the car before I bought it. I also found a certified BMW guy who has his own shop. Had him inspect the car and he gave it the all clear minus a few maintenance items. The only thing I've paid for that I didn't know about when I bought it was an AC compressor. It's got 147,000 miles. It runs like a dream. But I keep up my maintenance and I live in FCP Euro. Not once have I regretted the money I've put in it. I've got a few more things to do and she will be damn near perfect for a 12 year old car.

    Good having you back, Dean. Hope you're feeling better soon.
    So how do you feel about the N54 being being turbo-charged and direct injected? Just asking your opinion if you think it was a smart move from a reliability standpoint. I'm honestly a bigger fan of port injection and natural aspiration.

    • @BMWDoctor
      @BMWDoctor  4 роки тому +2

      its a very very good engine and can be reliable but as its forced induction more pressure on the engine and gaskets means more leaks and more to fail but overall I do like this engine alot I like all the N series engines if im honest

    Hello Doctor, I have some issues with my Z4 35i. Car starts smoothly and runs good then after a few minutes of driving I get all kinds of PT-CAN errors. DME CD87 pt-can communication fault. EGS CF12 CF13 CF14 CF15 CF1F Transmission. EKPS 6293 control current too high. DSC 5f10., EPS D507. D387. Do you have any idea of what is causing this? Is your $50/monthly will explain this problem?

    Recalls in the US are issued differently than other countries. Recall here unless voluntary by a manufacturer have to be ordered by the government. My example to this is the passenger SRS system recall experienced elsewhere is now ordered here. This is for my 2000 (2000-2001) 3 series, my case 323i.

      if you want a decent one you need to pay for a decent one dont go for the cheapest one you can find cheapest means its going to be the crappiest car you will ever have
      everyone says the N52 is unreliable in the usa but mine aint lol mine is a perfect example of a well looked after one it wasn't when I got it BUT I put the money and time into it to make it what it is
      but in the USA you guys will drive anything along as it has that badge regardless what defects it has you guys buy cars with engine blown where here nobody would ever sell that in a lifetime here
      here we make sure it has fun history and been looked after otherwise we dont buy very simple
      but alot of you are eager to have what your friends or what you see others have and expect the same you also want to try maintain it as cheap as possible and with all N series engines they wont tolerate or allow cheap parts thank the lord
