Timing System Needs Recall

At just over 60k miles, BOTH timing guide rails inside my F10 engine shattered. It was a devastating repair cost, but luckily I was able to manage it without damaging the engine any further. Engine had to be pulled apart to remove all the plastic shards. Really hoping BMW will be issuing a recall on this flawed system. Beyond that, the car is wonderful. Love the comfort and feel of the vehicle.

I wasn't a mile from the dealership when the car malfunctioned. I bought it eight days ago and they are replacing the turbo. While I'm glad the problem revealed itself as soon as i drove off. I am not pleased that the car was on the lot for sale. For the very short time I've had driving the car. I was pleased with the feel. This will be my only BMW purchase. Back to Infiniti for my next car.

Traded my 2011 328i for the 2013 528i, and I love it! The interior is extremely nice and the idrive system is great. There are some very high tech features that took me some time to get used to. Although the exterior is a bit conservative, there something about it that gives it a classy look to it. I am very happy with the overall performance of this car. The ride is a lot quieter and smoother. I'm very pleased and know I made the right decision.
Best German value for your money

Bought it used and about 20k miles later not a single issue. The car is very comfortable around town and specially on the highway. There is a refineness that is hard to beat at this price range. I own Mercedes and Porsche as my other cars and this cars hold its own in more ways than they do. BMW drive is still unmatched even with Lexus (yawn) like comfort levels. Get the M-Sport package.

The 535i has the right mix of Sport, comfort and fuel economy for my budget. I have one technology issue with the car and the Auto Stop feature which shuts down the engine when you come to a stop for more than and a few seconds with the idea it saves on fuel cost. However, in my experience its more annoying than what it's worth as in most cases with city driving the engine shuts off just seconds before it has to restarted again. In stop n go traffic it's absolutely ridiculous. Also, with auto stop it can give you the impression the car is off when parked when in fact it is not.
